I have a similar problem with my Bessa, the only M-type finder that I have, if I wear my glasses. The glasses keep the natural eye too far from the entrance to the finder. Without the glasses, the frame lines are visible, but reading the dials, etc, is more difficult. > > It would seem that you must get your eye closer to the entrance of the finder, or find an adaptive lens that will shrink the finder field of view slightly. I'm not sure that the usual diopter lens would help, but you might see if a shop has some in stock that you might try. > > Are you shooting with the left eye or the right?

There is space around them so the camera is fine, it is my eyes.
