COULD NOT focus my eyes on the ground glass... even with my progressives nor my special tri-focals..... had to go out to the local drugstore and buy a $16 pair of strong reading glasses... perfect for under the focuing cloth and cheap too.... This thing with glasses really is terrible... different solutions for different cameras... Nikon SLR.. F4 with built in adjustable Diopter adjustment... glasses or no glasses, both work Hasselblad... Chimney finder with same adjustable Diopter... no glasses Leica.... Glasses work fine, no mods required 4x5... special glasses I guess I can't afford another camera... I can hardly remember the glasses solution I need now! It is a shame that the manufacturers do not understand what a problem us over 40's normally good sighted people have when their eyes start to go out of whack. Our trusted cameras become useless. Seriously, the best solution for me is built in diopter adjustment. I know nothing about the R series.....Did it offer diopter adjustment on any body? Start with the Leicaflex and work forward.... Leica Solms..... ??? Thank You Frank Filippone red735i@worldnet.att.net
