That sounds correct, but it doesn't work--at least not for me. I wear glasses and use an M6 with a 0.72 viewfinder and a diopter. I need the diopter because when I use a wide angle lens and wear glasses, I can't see the full image in the viewfinder; however, with the diopter and no glasses, I can see the full viewfinder image. I have been tempted to buy the body with the 0.58 viewfinder even though I have the diopter. The reason is if I use the diopter, I can't use my glasses at the same time--the viewfinder is blurry with my glasses on. Yet, when I'm looking at the real world I need my glasses. So, there is a constant shifting between wearing glasses and not wearing glasses. A pain. The 0.58 body would solve the problem. Wear glasses all the time; don't use a diopter; see full viewfinder image with wide angle lenses.
