If you do you better put something over the viewfinder to protect your glasses. It's metal not rubber and can be pretty sharp. I think Stephen still sells a little sticky donut for that purpose. What I do is punch a hole in a band-aid and then with scissors cut around the hole to fit the eyepiece. I'm still walking around with a scratch over the right lens the first and only time I didn't use protection. Just a word of advice.
