over40 zuikoholics:
I posted a similar comment a year or so ago re this presbyopia-MF SLR
problem. I apologize to those of you who've already read the spiel.
I have fit thousands of contact lenses over the years on every imaginable
eye type.
While there are a few folks (maybe 2-30f the bespectacled public) who
cannot use contact lenses, nothing beats a contact in the
can't-see-the-viewfinder department.
Just set your shooting eye for the virtual distance (about 1.5 meter per
Vince at Olympus--do you agree, John H?) of the viewfinder image. I
generally use 1 meter to aid in other out-of-camera close focusing, as
well.
Any good doc will know how.
Contacts have never been better or cheaper or healthier or easier to use.
They are a modern marvel.
IMHO using spectacles with any optical instrument is a real pain, no matter
how you try to tweak the set-up.
FWIW, I own no stock in any lens manufacturer and have closed my books to
new patients. <gr>
hasta la vista
