I need glasses to look at the LCD, as far away from my face as I can hold it. But, most of my photography is of dogs in action, or birds in flight. So what I've done, as mentioned by others before me, is to buy and put together a red-dot sight that sits in the hot shoe of my Q. All parts came together today. Experimentation this afternoon has shown that much practice is needed. I believe the goal it to watch the action with both eyes while inserting the red-dot sight up into that field of view so you can see the red-dot centered in the reticle and hope the AF finds the same thing you are trying to photograph. Forget the LCD screen. Not for the easily discouraged.
