Guys and Gals with glasses

[YangMills]

I wear glasses most of the time and shoot with them on if I’m not on a dedicated shoot and just on walkabout. If I go to shoot I wear contact lenses because I find framing easier than with glasses.

I noticed I was doing a great job cleaning my glasses, particularly the right lens. As it turned out, I was!! I am planning on cataract surgery this summer. Meanwhile, I have been relying on the great autofocus of the R6 and R7 and trying/having to use my left eye. Talk about awkward! I am really looking forward to better eyesight.

I was quite shortsighted (8-9 dioptes) since my school days and started wearing varifocal glasses when I was a bit over 50. I got used to the fact that when looking through the viewfinder I never could see the complete frame. Two years ago I had cataract surgery which reduced my shortsightedness to 3 dioptres. I am still wearing varifocal glasses (albeit much thinner ones) and have set the EVF display mode to 2 (smaller image surrounded by additional info) which now allows me seeing the complete frame!

With my R5 I look over my glasses into the viewfinder, corrected with the diopter. That creates a problem getting good contact with the eye cup and makes it difficult to see in bright light. If I'm doing intentional photography instead of just capturing opportunities on a walk, then the glasses come off and I can see the EVF much better (Big nose still gets in the way though.)
