Heliar 15mm viewfinder + my eye goggles?

[luketrash]

My next step into this insanity is to purchase the Heliar 15mm + finder package.

However, I'm curious how easy the framelines in the finder are to see for someone with goofy, sticky-out glasses like myself?

It doesn't have framelines, but the frame edge is important to see! I just tried mine out with some safety glasse, fairly bulky ones. I would say you'll be right near the limit of being able to see the whole frame at once with glasses.
On the other hand, you won't have to worry about the tip of your nose obscuring the corner of the frame while shooting a vertical!

Hi Luke

As has been said, there are no brightlines on this finder. I wear glasses and find it quite difficult to see the outer edges of the frame, meaning that I never quite know what I'm going to get when I use the lens - but that's part of the fun for me!

Thanks for the info! Yeah, with the uncoupled lens + viewfinder it will just be one surprise after another ;-) I can live with that. Now I just have to patiently wait to find one used.

I may be selling mine soon.
