For those that need/want more viewfinder magnification, Pentax is offering a useful accessory for the DSLR line: --- Pentax O-ME53 Magnifying Eyecup for Pentax Digital SLR Cameras The Pentax O-ME53 Magnifying Eyecup works with all Pentax DSLR bodies and offers 1.2 times magnification over the entire image field. This is ideal for critical focusing (e.g. macro photography), and when using manual focus lenses. <http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home? O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=469574&is=REG> or http://tinyurl.com/2ljppk --- This seems a reasonable solution: it allows those with glasses to have the eyepoint and virtual image size that we need with the camera as delivered, while those who can deal with a shorter eye relief and larger virtual image size can have it as well.
