R4M framelines with glasses

[pismo923]

I am considering an R4M and am wondering what is the widest frameline comfortably visible with some decent space around it for an eyeglass wearer like myself. Will the 25 frame be too tight? I hate having to move my eye all around the frame. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Depends on how close your glasses are to your eyes. 35 is easy. I find 28 borderline uncomfortable. 25 requires moving my eye around a bit.

In my experience, the 28mm frame is perfect, 25 is tight and 21mm is only usable with eye hunting. 35mm is so small, it is not worth to bother.
However, unless you use a VERY small lens, the vignetting can be severe. Best 28mm compact lenses are CV 28/3.5 and Leica 28/2.8 ASPH.

I have some photos of R4M frame lines for your reference. Taken by iPad, so it's more like the case of user without glasses.

I wear glasses and had no trouble with the 21 mm lens. BTW I wear Progressive trifocals.
