I can't speak for everyone else's eyesight, but the DS finder is just right to allow me to see the entire finder and the information display at a glance without moving my head around, and has enough eye relief to work with my glasses properly. It feels to my eye just like the Nikon F3/T with hp finder did: nearly perfect.
I use magnifiers only for critical focus work, to magnify the central portion of the viewfinder. Godfrey
