I have astigmatism and use a fair amount of prism in my corrective lenses. I
had my optician make two lenses for eyecups and use one for portrait and one
for landscape. It is not very convenient and I only use them for critical
situations (when there is sufficient time) and for long shoots when eye
fatigue is a problem. I don't use them in either the OM-3 or OM-4T. /jim

You can't do astigmatism with one of these - you turn the camera portrait
and landscape! I wish this were possible as I have the same affliction. It
would be very hard to align the circular lens when mounting it in an
eyecup1. the square for 2 would be easier, but then the original problem
applies.
