I have recently gotten contacts....and the difference over glasses is amazing.
If contacts are an option for your loss of sight, then give them a try.
my eyes are out a measly -.75 (so my distance vision is a little crappy) and they work a treat.

Yeah I switched to contacts last year..but mine are -4 and -3.75. So everything looks out of focus until I have it near my nose.
Contacts are no good to me, I can't see more then 4 feet in front of me with my glasses on. I'd be putting them in and taking them out 100 times a day.
They do make bi-focal contacts
I've just started wearing glasses for reading and comp work too, but my optician said it shouldn't affect camera work at all!?!
I find the viewfinder on the 350d way too small, and very hard to manual focus, so i usually just go with auto.. Unfortunately i think the cheaper lenses, like the kit lens, aren't too accurate on focussing!?!
Let us know how you get on with the extender, that might be a good option for me too.

Yeah I love those split prism viewfinders...for ease of use/accuracy.Originally Posted by Craigus
I'm going to get one of KatzEye Split Prism replacement
Hope it does the job and the "blackout" problem isn't too bad!
Fwor.. $100 US?
Let me know how effective it is and I might just get myself one too.
Thanks for shaing!
When I am shooting macro, I always use MF but you are right it becomes a little hard on the eyes and quite often it is hit and miss. I make sure the eye piece is in focus and then when I get the photo in focus or near it, I push the MF button and then it pulls the focus right in. Your camera may not have that.

I wear glasses, I find my main problem is when i press the damn camera against them and get smudges all over my lens (glasses) so then EVERYTHING is OOF!!
I should try contacts, but I really don't like the feel of them lol
Try soft contacts SSSchwing. I used to wear hard..didn't like em. Went to soft and once in didn't feel them at all.
I'm not sure what the ones I tried were to be honest...
I might go back and speak with the Optom....see what they can do...although, I'm so used to my glasses these days, I think i look weird without them! LOL
Thanks Ronbo
Hi there everyone.
The extender according to what I was told will make no difference it is the optic or dioptric that wont focus down for enough on the Canon I have the same problem, Brian let me know if it does make any difference if it does I will buy one right away.

It makes the damn viewfinder even SMALLER! I'm an idiot! Didn't read the description properly.
I don't have the extender. My suggestion was in realtion to the dioptic adjustment to see if it would be better without wearing glasses. The extender keeps the camera a bit further away from the face so that you your nose is not pressing against the LCD screen. I wear glasses and as such my nose only just touches the LCD screen. I suppose Bill Lawry would benefit from an extender
Lol I know what you mean Fez. I came into this thread, began reading...was about to reply..then forgot...then remembered by page 3...and then realised this thread is 6 months old and what I had to say was no longer relevant
