Do you use reading glasses when looking through the view finder?

[Mark L]

If needs be;

Put the cam on Auto focus , Thats it , Does'nt matter how blury it looks in the Viewfinder , I dont need glasses but I do adjust the Diopter to suit

PS : Focus has nothing to do with what your seeing

Has anyone used these ? How effective are they?

I use the Pentax O-ME53 and it is great

Yes, I look through the distance part of the glasses and not the reading part.

After doing the dioptre adjustment, everything is quite sharp.

When i was rifle shooting with open sights, you would focus on the rear sight in much the same way as looking at the focusing screen

When I was rifle shooting Military Range Rifle we focused on the front sight and the bull, if you tried to focus on the rear sight you couldn't see the front sight or target. I had 20/20 vision then. I now find open sights useless and use a scope.

Using Sunny's is hard for me, Spent 6 hrs at the Quiksilver Pro Surfing comp for the finals yesterday and I was going blind because I could'nt wear my Sun Glasses while shooting , Not a hope in hell in checking the shots , Just used the histogram for reference , Thank goodness for auto focus

Well, to recap: No.

Another recap. Why would you use reading (close up) glasses when viewing something at a distance anyway? So the answer is no.

I have similar issues but am short sighted so any close work is fine but looking at anything further than 5metres gets blurry. Most recently I was taking night shots trying to capture the Milky Way and was forever flipping my glasses up and down, looking to the sky and then to the camera and back again. Any thing close goes into double vision when wearing my glasses.

Anyone have a solution other than multifocal glasses?

Having been in the Optical Industry for the last 20 odd years I can tell you that there is no easy fix for having clear vision at every working distance when taking photos. I have fitted many photographers with Multifocal specs and most of them will say that they work most of the time. You just have to make sure you are using the correct part of the lens.

Keith,what I was refereeing to was initially sighting a rifle you would look at the rear sight ,line it up with the blade or post then superimpose it over the target,you don`t focus on the target.

The same is true with the camera sight the focusing screen,then look through it for you shot,to me it is very similar.

I hate wearing glasses when I am using my camera but I have little choice. I need reading glasses to make adjustments to the shutter speed, aperture etc. I have learned to live with setting shutter speed, ISO and aperture - make sure the focus point is where i want it to be, then shoot. I also need my glasses to check the histogram (and make adjustments if necessary). I find if I am accurate with my focus point (I never compose and move) then I get 9/10 correct.
