R2A with glasses?

OK, I've been shooting with my new R3M for a few days, and think it's wonderful. But I can't see the 50mm framelines with my glasses, and the 40mm is completely impossible. I must confess I didn't anticipate this.

I'm thinking about asking Stephen if I can just trade it in for an R2M or R2A. The question is, can those of you with eyeglasses see all the framelines?

My brother got a Bessa R2, I supose the viewfinder is the same as the R2A. I can see every frames with my glasses

I think I'll do it, then...what a bummer! I love the finish on the R3M, I just wish I could see...

Ah wait, just realized...the R2M anniversary has the same finish!

Howdy, i got an R2a and have the notorious eye glass problem. I can see the 35mm frames with the r2a just fine, in fact better then the ones on my m6. That should be worth something.

Cool, thank you. I also just looked online and couldn't believe how cheap contact lenses are. Last time I wore them was 1989. I could possibly just get some and pop them in when I want to go out shooting...I didn't realize how much things had changed...

EDIT: BTW Avotius, I wanted to tell you I love your Chinese street photography. A real inspiration to this amateur.

I have an R2A and an M2, and I also wear glasses. The 35mm frame lines are easier to see on the R2A. I think it's an excellent camera.
