Focusing Screen for Canon 1D Mark III

I was switching out lenses the other day and somehow the focusing screen on my Canon 1D Mark III fell out. I noticed that the tab broke off and I need to order a replacement. I went online to order one and saw several different ones to choose from. Are their different screens for different types of shooting, i.e. landscapes versus sports?

Thanks,

Chris

Canon provides different Focusing Screens for different manual focusing needs, compositions or different crop formats. Basic information is at:

Note that some screens will affect exposure metering, and may require a change in a custom setting to compensate.
