is there a super precision focusing screen for the 1d mark 3, similar to the Ee-S for the original 5d? or can that screen be used in my 1d3 camera? it looks very similar.

If you want to try one of Canon's Super Precision Matte focusing screens for manual focusing with large aperture lenses, here's a list of what you would need according to the camera body in question:

EOS-1 class (any vintage): Ec-S
EOS 5D: Ee-S
EOS 40D/50D: Ef-S
EOS 5D Mark II: Eg-S

If you install an Ec-S in your EOS-1D Mark III, be sure to set Custom Function IV-11-2 to adjust the sensitivity of the camera's exposure metering system.
