Focusing can be a major problem if one wears progressive bifocals (or
trifocals). Sometimes my shots were coming back sharp, and
sometimes they were slightly fuzzy. After awhile, I figured-out that it all
depended upon how I positioned the viewfinder. 'Nuther words,
depending upon where the viewfinder "hit" my progressives, my focusing
could be either accurate or pretty darned inaccurate.
Now, I use a -5 dioptric correction lens without glasses. Yeah, it's a bit
of a hassle to continually remove my glasses to take pictures, and then
put them back on again when I'm done, but the percentage of in-focus
shots I'm getting has improved dramatically! Now, if I could just figure-
out how to compose a decent picture! :-)
Regards,
Chris
