Does anyone know if the KM 7D's standard MPP-1000 clear LCD clip-on
protector will fit the KM 5D?

I can comfirm it 'fits' shirt buttons well enough to get popped off when you
aren't looking.

grmbl grmbl...

Comparing photos of the back of a 5D with my 7D, it looks like there are
quite a few differences in the way the LCD is set into the body - I don't
see the raised lip around the LCD with notches for the protector to snap
into.

I also can't find any mention of the MPP-1000 in the K-M Maxxum 5D specs and
brochures.

The 5D "Item includes" list at B&H does not include a 5D LCD cover, so
it's hard to tell if it takes one at all, and what model it takes if any.

Hopefully a 5D owner will come along.

Not a clear one, but it'll do the job.
