[QUOTE="Robert Mitchell, post: 110816, member: 11282"] Let me offer another opinion, as I wear glasses and have looked at just about every option offered to solve the problems you're experiencing. I'll start by saying that ultimately I don't use any add-ons or eyepieces because they all distance your eye further from the existing eyepiece of your camera and that in itself makes it even tougher to see the entire frame as well as the information being displayed. Some of those devices do work well in terms of blocking unwanted light and letting you see with greater contrast but made it impossible to compose, even with a 100% viewfinder. Others may have had different experiences but after trying the Nikon and a few third party products, I chose to get used to the viewfinder as it is without any other doodads attached. For me, the distancing of the eye was immediately noticeable and got in the way of my ability to accurately compose and I had to jog my head and eye around far too much to see the corners and info displayed at the bottom. Not saying this is the case with everyone and clearly some people are liking those devices but they didn't suit me at all. My 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
