I've a couple of .76 bodies as well, though. For the 28mm, 35mm (my 'standard' lens), and to some extent the 50 at a push, it is great. I don't wear spectacles but I can't 'see' the 28 on a .76 without consciously moving my eye around the frame. The .58 is fine, very fast to see and shoot. I think you would even have a rough view of the 24 as well. I'll let you know how I find it when I get it - couple of weeks I'm told (yeah yeah). Try it, you may like it!"
