EOS 90D How to use viewfinder with contact lenses

Ramsden — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 20:44:05 GMT

I live in the UK and next week will be having my regular eye test. I've had an EOS 90D for over a year and sometimes find my glasses get in the way when using the view finder - particularly in the evening, when trying to focus. I'm wondering if I should try contact lenses for when I take my 'camera for a walk' around my local lanes and footpaths.

If anyone has any experience I'd love to hear your views.

Thanks

Ramsden,

have you tried using the dioptric correction on the viewfinder without your glasses on? If your prescription is beyond the correction available in the viewfinder, then contacts may be a good solution.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have used the dioptric at times and it works. Its more a logistical issue when im close to the ground trying to snatch some wildlife in a hedgerow, for example.

Thanks
