Your best bet is to go somewhere where you can "play with" the various combinations. I am a left eyed shooter and wear glasses and I cannot see the entire 50 mm frame without moving my eye around. On my classic M6, I can't see the 35mm frame lines without moving my eye around. It is just a matter of finding out what works best for you.
