I can, and am using live view of course.. but sometimes, especially with dimmer objects, this is not possible, so using the camera viewer as low power eyepiece is better (IMO) because it produces brighter image for the eye.
OK, Magic Lantern uses longer exposure time in Live View which could also be better approach.. but I have a surplus of those focusing screens (from faulty cameras I am using as source of spare parts, so why not try?
BTW, Bunnings stores polishing paste for plastic ($12), so I will try that soon.
