Is it possible to replace the focus screen for 6DM2?

Shouldn't have cleaned the dust inside my camera body..got a big smuge that I can't seem to wipe away.

Doesn't effect shooting but it's a big eye sore while looking through the view finder

It is not designed to be changed by the user but probably like any Canon camera, it is serviceable by a technically skilled person that has the right tools. Just finding and/or being able to purchase the part may be a challenge.

Bottom line, no it is not replaceable by the consumer.

I believe that the 6D is a model that has interchangeable focus screens. Obviously it'll take some dexterity to do it, but can be done by the end user if they're up to it.

No the 6D Mark II doesn't use a regular focusing screen. It uses an LCD overlay in the viewfinder. This makes it not possible to change focusing screens. Except for 1DX series cameras. They use both an LCD overlay and a regular focusing screen.

If that’s the case, mk2 must be different to mk1 then. You can on 6d mk1.

That's correct... Original 6D has an interchangeable focus screen. The 6DII does not.
