Of course there is no guarantee of success with future combinations. Still,
through many pairs of glasses over the last 25 years, I have always
preferred to use the
camera with glasses on. I make no claims for anyone else and I will admit
the change from single vision to progressive bi-focals was a bit
interesting.
I find the OM-4 view to be better than the OM-1; adjust the diopter and look
down instead of to the side. ;)
