I have no problem whatsoever. However, if I aim my eye at the right edge of the frame, for instance, then I have difficulty seeing the left frame, and vice versa, but if I fiddle the position of the camera, I find that I CAN see the whole frame at all times, but just barely. Perhaps this is a variable depending on different people's eyesight. By all means, if this is a potential problem for you, look through an HM before committing yourself (to buying the camera, that is) Dan C. I don't wear glasses, by the way.
