Hi all, I am a eyeglass wearer and just received the R6 Mark ii. I love that there is enough eye relief to see the whole viewfinder. However I noticed that the upper portion of the viewfinder edge has barrel distortion on both the left and right side. It is not severe but present. I am wondering if this is because I wear eyeglasses. When I take my glasses off I cannot determine if the distortion is stil there. I am talking about the edge (frame) of the viewfinder, not the image. Is this a defect with my new camera or has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

I agree with ivl about the astigmatism. I have astigmatism and the barrel distortion is there with all my cameras.
