Sure it is the problem with 1/2(n), with lens aperture smaller the
problem bigger. With a 50/1.4 it has less effect, with a F4 or 5.6
lens, forget about reading the meter without using you hand to shade
the light going into the finder.

Both eye cup one and two does not work for me, light will enter into
the finder between your eye and glasses, better wear a cap or use your
hand to shade the light.
