I do it all the time Jim - use an Eyecup 1 with corrective lens fitted. It gives me a decent enough view on my 1N or 2SP. But if I forget to have an Eyecup 1 attached I merely use my spectacles with the naked viewfinder.

Aesthetically though, I think that the Eyecup 1 adds a certain look to the OMs, much like the decent hoods to when mounted on the lens ... and much like the silver-noses ;-).

Is there really a practical use and comfort of using the eye-cup 1 on your

I find it very difficult to have a "complete view" of the view finder when
attached. When changing film the film back cannot be open without having it
remove.

Having a diopter attached to the eye-cup 1 is no better than wearing my
glasses when taking pictures without the use of eye cup 1.

Just my personal views...



cheers
