Protection for that exposed LCD screen on the Canon EOS 5D
For a few dollars from the good people at B&H I picked up a packet of three sheets of matte surfaced stick-on plastic screen protectors for the exposed rear LCD screen of the Canon EOS 5D – click on the topical index to learn more about this camera.
I couldn’t get quite the right size so I purchased the 3″ one and shaved 9/64″ off the long side and it fits fine. The packet comes with a nice cloth to make sure you have removed all grease from the screen before applying the plastic sheet and also includes a small hard plastic blade to smooth the film once in place. This spreads even pressure better than your finger can.
A side benefit, apart from the protection against scratches, is that the matte surface does a far better job of supressing reflections than the smooth surface of the original.
