I cracked the outer protective screen on the back of my 5D MK II. The LCD itself is fine, but the crack on the outer screen is large and annoying. Anyone point me in the right direction for a new screen?
Not really Baz, but you have to be a bit brave, when I converted my 5D's for astro work the back came of pretty easy, and it was not difficult to get to the screen.
Thanks Leon. I am certainly NOT brave enough to take the entire back off a brand new 5D MK II. I wonder if the rear protector over the LCD will just lift off with a scalpel or craft knife?

Wouldn't Eric Lo (Ezystyle) be able to help you? He mods and opens cameras all the time? Just a thought. Might be worth PMing him.
I have now got the new screen and gasket and was thinking about using a craft knife very carefully to remove the cracked screen, then gently scrape the old gasket off.
Getting the new one on should be no problem after that.
Does anyone foresee any problems with this approach?
