Trying to get to the bottom of this issue, a few questions.....

Gerry, to make things a bit more clear, please put a photo of the camera's
back side, near the eyepiece, up for us all to see.....
Not through the eyepiece, but OF the eyepiece.....

And now questions.... does the image through the eyepiece appear to you to
be in focus?  ( nothing to do with the RF, just the view of the world out in
front).

Is the RF window area in focus as well as the rest of the image?  Better?
Worse?

And the framing lines?  Are they themselves in focus?

As much as you do not wear glasses when taking pictures, do you or should
you wear glasses for anything other than reading? 

The right eye left eye question is also important.....  Which do you shoot
through?  Do you keep both eyes open when using the M9?

If you were to push the camera further up to your face then is normally
comfortable, what frame lines do you see?  Does this "cure" the issue?

What camera(s) were you using before the M9?  (reference point)

>>>>> With the 35mm lens fitted (the only one I have) the frame lines are at
the edge of my field of view. There is space around them so the camera is
fine, it is my eyes. Has anyone any suggestions how I see more of the
viewfinder?
