Hello

Yeah in the other thread i did say i saw specks on the shots, but later on in the thread i said made a mistake.I thought i saw the specks the night before but when i did the f22 test the day after in better light on a white wall it was tottall clear.

They were on the focus screen from the start.

Alan, Sorry I should have read all the thread:o Maybe the cleaning system did its job? sometimes I see specs on my images, now I don't bother to clean because the chances are the next time I use it there will be nothing. I have had to do a wet clean once recently after about 13000 actuations. IMO the MKIII cleaning system does a good job.

Cheers

I've done the exact thing on my Rebel XT this summer.
It's a precision job, but if you take care, everything is easy.

I'm glad your worked fine!

OMG did the usual photograph the cat in the garden shots today, and now its such a joy to use.Now i'm not looking at any black spots .

Oh and no focus issues as of yet.Every pic was sharp and spot on .Have to give it a reall good testing on a motorsport race day or out in the field with the wildlife

Thanks for making this thread. I was actually seeing spots on my 5D, and it was under the focusing screen! I have actually never thought about taking it out until I see this thread, now it's cleaner than ever!

Hey no probs

I'm going to do my 20D tomorrow as thats got some specks of dust also.

no you are not. the 20D focusing screen doesn't drop like that. it is a bit more complicated because it doesn't have interchangeable focusing screen

if you do want to do your 20D as well, here are the instructions:

a claw hammer will get it out of the 20d Alan
Rob.

lol oops sorry i did'nt know that.

Um looking at that walk through .I'm not even going to ettempt it.

Thanks for the link anyway

that is another thing that they changed with the 40D because having the interchangeable screen option is just amazing.
