R2A for glasses wearer?

[ywenz]

I had trouble seeing the 35mm framelines on my .72 M6.. Will I see an improvement with the R2A?

With combination progressive lens glasses, I have no problem seeing the top and bottom frame lines on my Bessa R.

The sides are just barely in my line of sight on my Bessa R. YMMV - Keep in mind that I have a Nikon rubber eye cup fitted to the viewfinder eyepiece.

you probably won't. they looked the same to me. the zi is better, though.

I have glasses and can see the 35mm frame without too much of a problem on my Bessa R, not used an R2a though.

The 35mm framelines on my Bessa R2a are usable for me with spectacles. More visible than the 35mm framelines on an M2 Leica.

I have glasses and can see the 35mm frame without too much of a problem on my R2a. I did buy a +2 Diopter for it. It was a Nikon one, about $15. I can look it up if your interested. So either way it should work well. I can see the 35mm frame Fine.

Seems to depend on the glasses you´re wearing.

I can´t see the whole 35mm-frames on my R2M. It´s possible to see it, but I have to move my eyes and glasses to see the edges.

Perhaps consider buying the R4A - that appears to have excellent eye relief for glasses wearers. I guess you might struggle to get accurate focus with a 35 lux or Nokton, not seen any real-world reports on that. Its the one thing that's stopping me from buying one to replace my Bessa T and Canon Ps

Like most others here, I have little problem seeing all of the lines with my R2A.
I also have a 25, and have little trouble seeing the lines though the viewfinder.
However, I do have some trouble seeing the shutter spped lights along the bottom.

I have an R4M and wear glasses. Only the 21mm frameline gives me a bit of a problem, and that's minor. (Unless I make a conscious effort, I usually can't see the far corners.
