hello everyone, i'm new to the list!
i'm researching rangefinder cameras and my main criteria is having adequate eye relief to easily see the entire frame with my glasses on. other issues such as focusing, shutter speed range, etc. are important but to me being able to easily see the subject and compose is top priority.
i have found very little published about this and am querying user groups.
for ex&le, i find the nikon "high eyepoint" SLR viewfinder (F3, 8008, etc.) superb, while the olympus OM2 is a pain. my glasses are a high correction and i hate to have to "scrunch" the OM2 tightly against my forehead, and then shift around to see the corners of the frame and the exposure meter.
any comments from eyeglass wearers on how the G2 eye relief is? and for those who have used multiple cameras how it compares to the hexar RF, bessa R2, and leica M6? it would be great to find the "nikon high eyepoint equivalent" in the rangefinder world, if it exists!
thanks very much for any info!
