Thanks, Dave. I installed an Eg-S screen, which makes MF easier. Although with the stacked TCs, the viewfinder was *dark*. Still, I was able to see just enough to focus. No way I could have done this handheld. Tough enough on the gimbal.

On another note, my requisition for the 5D MkIII went through channels ok, so now it's just a waiting game.
