I have heard a number of people on the list talk about preferring to use the
matte finish area of the focusing screen to focus with, as opposed to the fancy
prism, or split ring or .....I was wondering how many of these people also
wear glasses. .....What do people with glasses prefer?
I wear glasses (bifocals) as a consequence of increasing years and prefer
to use the matte for fine focussing when I can. Whether I can or not seems
to depend on the light level. Using a 50mmF1.4 or 85mmF2 lens I find that
it is usually possible but only sometimes with the 500mmreflex (F/8).
I often find a rough focus with the split ring and when possible use the
matte for fine focus.
For information, my OM2SP has a 2-14 focussing screen while I think that
the screen in my OM10 is a 1-13 (am I correct?) and certainly the 2-13
seems better with the reflex lens.
I might add that I suffer from astigmatism in both eyes as well as a
reducing accommodation so that I am always wearing my glasses when using a
camera.
