I am at the trifocal stage and one of the things that irritated me about the X Pro 1 dual view finder was that although I could focus the optical viewfinder by peering through the second stage of my bi focals I could not see a sharp picture on the EVF. I went to Leo's, one of the better Vancouver camera stores (not that there are many left these days) and they had identified the problem and were stocking a set of Zeiss diopter correction eyepieces. I tried them all and found that the +1 cleared up my problem. Both EVF and OVF are now sharp using my glasses. It wasn't cheap; $40 for the eyepiece, but worth it to get rid of the annoyance. Why they didn't spend the extra $3 to put diopter correction on the X Pro 1, like they did with the X100 is beyond me. Of course, your experience may vary depending on your eyesight. Cheers Howard
