Anyone have first hand experience using the G2 viewfinder while wearing eyeglasses? Your thoughts, please.
Thanks,
Gerry
 
I wear glasses, but the diopter correction you can dial in is enough for me to not use glasses when shooting. I pop them up on my forehead. I have cable ends on the glasses, so it works great for me.

Looking through the viewfinder with them on, I can see all of the viewfinder up/down and lose a little side to side, but not much.

The viewfinder cover/surround is rubberized, so no marks on the glasses.

I was not real crazy for the viewfinder at first, but you only use it for framing, not focusing, so I now actually like it. Just don't think of it in the same terms as a Leica RF and you are fine.

Hope this helps
 
Thanks for the input. I have a strong astigmatism, so not sure how much impact that has. RF's no longer work for me. My AF bodies seem to be still usable.
