Those of you with glasses how do you avoid smudging them with your viewfinder. I’m virtually useless without my glasses (nearsighted) and every time I’m shooting I end up with smudges all over my glasses from my viewfinder. My viewfinder in clean too just seems to be the type of rubber or something that does it. I’ve just accepted it at this point but I’m wondering if anyone else has this problem or has any tips to avoid it?

    Here is your real answer:

    Stick your eyebrow against the top of the viewfinder. HARD. This works with or without glasses. Honestly, I usually leave my glasses on because that gives me distant vision and the ability to scan for subjects.

    So in general, stick your eyebrow against the viewfinder, and peer through the viewfinder through the top of your glasses. Takes a little practice, but you’ll get used to it with time.
