I wear glasses and have the O-ME53 eyepiece. I like it a lot. When looking straight into the viewfinder, I see about 98% of the image. The very tips of the corners are vignetted, but It's not something that's a concern for me. I need to move my eye a bit to see the data at the bottom of the screen, however. When looking at the image, i see the top half of the data. When my eye is in a position to view the data, I lose the top eighth of the viewfinder. I don't have a problem with that, however, as when I am looking at the data, I am not usually composing. When I am composing, I'm not usually changing the inputs. There is no loss of brightness as far as I can tell. The image is nice and large! On comparison with my MZ-6 film SLR, the K10D viewfinder is now larger, though not quite as bright (by just a bit, though). For reference, the MZ-6 viewfinder is 0.7 x [92%]. My MZ-5 viewfinder is larger than the K10D with O-ME53 (listed as 0.8 x[92%]). Hope this helps. -- Cheers, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MichaelHamilton.ca -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
