I've been using one of these for about a week, so I'm getting used to it
now.

1.25x on .72 body. Without glasses the whole 35mm frame is visible, with
glasses I can't see the whole 50mm frame, but the 75mm frame and smaller are
fine.

1.25x on .85 body. Without glasses the whole 50mm frame is easily visible,
with glasses the 75mm frame is just visible, and the smaller frames are
fine.

"Also, how much darkening of the viewfinder did you observe?"

With the 1.25x on the .72, and alternating between that and the 'naked' .85
I can't see any significant difference.
