Wouldn't that be easier? I've tried that with another camera with an adjustable diopter. The answer is that it slows you down enormously. First you see what you want to shoot (with glasses on.) Then you have to take your glasses off to raise the camera to your eyes, focus and shoot. Okay for landscapes, but hopeless for street shooting, or candid family photographs. Contact lenses are a better alternative, if you can tolerate them.
