And are you nearsighted or farsighted? I'm dealing with the glasses issue myself. My eyes are fairly deep-set, and I can't see the 35mm frame on a .72x viewfinder with glasses. I can see and focus fine with "monovision" contact lenses (viewing with my "distance" eye). So far, I'd rather use contacts than get a .58 viewfinder. When I do use glasses, I end up having to take them off after focusing every time I want to use the 35mm frame. Not exactly decisive moment territory. If the diopter is for use without glasses, the same problems apply. Anyway, I remember someone here mentioning that they use the diopter in *addition* to their glasses. Why would that be necessary, assuming one looks through the top rather than the bottom of one's bifocals? - --Peter Klein Seattle, WA - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
