Leica 24mm vs Zeiss 25mm finder for Glasses

[stevencrichton]

Having recently sold off all my SLR gear and returned to RF with an M9 and a CL I decided I wanted a good wide angle lens and went for the Zeiss 25mm and the associated finder.

However, with my glasses I find it nearly impossible to see the frame lines on the 25mm finder without a lot of head movement and peering.

Does anyone know if the leica 24mm finders are easier to see the frames with glasses on?

If so ... anyone want to do a straight trade on a 24mm finder for a shiny new 25mm zeiss? If you don't wear glasses yourself!

Steven, I assume you are planning to use it with a 25mm lens. I had the same issue with Zeiss VF of not being able to see the frame line without some eye maneuvering. I would strongly suggest considering Voigtlander 21/25 as it is fairly easy to see the 25 frame line. And I do wear glasses as well.

You may be better off with the Leica 18mm - it has the 1.3x crop for M8 marked on it too, which just happens to be 24mm
