Hmm ... so the virtual image is 2 metres away in the viewfinder (if I remember the application of diopters here correctly), which implies that you would need correction if you have trouble at this distance. From what I've read, almost everyone (even those slightly nearsighted or farsighted) can see pretty well at a distance of 2 metres, which is why this distance is frequently chosen for viewfinders by camera makers. > I have admired the pictures on your website. Thanks!
