Anyone wearing eyeglasses using Bessa R3A or R3M?

[shadowleaves]

I have been using a Bessa R2A for a year. I was using a Nokton 35mm f/1.4, but later got a ZM 50mm f/2 Planar and sold the Nokton. I wonder if someone wearing eyeglasses can comfortably see the 50mm frameline on R3A/R3M? I was told so but not exactly sure. Also if anyone would like to trade a R3A or R3M with my R2A, please do let me know....

Cheers

Well, I do not wear glasses, but 50 should be fine. But 40 would be not. it is on the edge even without the glasses ...

I wear glasses and have an R3A. I can see the 50 framelines just fine. The 40 framelines are more of a stretch, though.

I wear glasses and I cannot see all the 40mm frame but can see the 50mm lines.

I briefly owned the R2A, R3A, and R4A. I wear glasses and it was therefore always disappointing to not be able to use the widest frame line. EXCEPT... the R4A 28mm frameline was purrr..fect. I don't think I was able to see all of the 25mm lines, but that didn't matter since I love the 28 f.o.v.. I may go back to the R4A, once I get all these 'eyeglass scratchers' sold. 🙂

Wow, Jamie are you saying you can not see the 25mm framelines, much less the 21mm, on the R4 with glasses on?

Glasses and have both. Nothing to worry about.
