I don't know who is considered a good supplier these days for "AF
confirm" adapters.  Maybe someone else will make a recommendation.  I
could use a recommendation myself since my 3 adapters are not AF
confirm.  You may also find the chips separately but I wouldn't bother.
Installation is pretty fiddly to get them located just right.
Chuck says:
"Beyond that you can get a bigger and brighter screen using a full 
frame
camera like the 5D and 5D Mk II.  Canon also makes manual focus screens
for these cameras that (although they actually darken the image a bit)
are supposed to make focusing easier with f/2.8 or faster lenses by
making the image "snap" into focus more easily.  I have one for my 5D
but have never noticed much improvement... but that's probably due to 
my
faulty eyes.

I like my Opitx V chip.  Rudolf  (HappypageHK) will chip an adapter you 
like  for about 35 bucks.  He sent mine express w/o extra charge
as he knew I was in a hurray.  I had the Cameraquest adapter chipped.  
I am not sure it is accurate  for apertures larger than F4 or so.  
There is a microfocus adjust
routine included with the chip that is easy to use if needed--should 
work with virtually any Canyon.  His adapters have a good reputation 
but are not always 100% spot on and may go beyond infinity.
Live view magnified is spot on and very bright of course.  The Ee-S 
with fast lenses is helpful if you don't have time for live-view but 
your VF is less bright of course.
