[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 807209, member: 48483"] I am in a similar boat. I had to stop wearing contact lenses when I started to need different power for close-up. Bifocal contacts just did not work out for me with constant eye strain. So I finally went back to glasses for first time since my late teens. I decided at the time to go with 2 glasses. One with transistions lenses and 1 without. Otherwise I got all the same no-line bifocals and the expensive anti-glare treatments. My optician gives that 2nd pair of glasses at a reduced cost if bought together. So I wear the transistions glasses most of the time, but yes I go to the straight clear lenses when I need to. You would be surprised how much easier it is to find things in the shadows if you are working on a car outdoors in sunlight. And I can see the EVF of my Z5 better this way also. Never was that much of an issue to me in the OVF of my DSLR cameras. And option 2 is clear lenses and the magnetic stick-on sunglasses lenses. You may have to switch your frame style. Option 3: lean on that histogram more for setting your exposure instead of relying on the eyes. [/QUOTE]
