As an eyeglass wearer, the following finder/focal length combinations seem
to be ideally suited:

.85x + 90mm
.72x + 50mm
.58x + 35mm (I'm speculating on this last one)

These combinations provide enough visibility outside of the frame to
facilitate composition without shortchanging the view within the frame.
