So far the built in diopter is good enough. But my eyes aren't getting better and I end up with a slightly stronger prescription about every other year or so. I've never seriously considered contact lenses in the past. Once my eyes are worse than the diopter can correct for, I'll go that route. <g> -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
