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?
I’m left handed. All cameras are pretty much right handed. I’m also left eye dominant. I had to get glasses recently and that played a big role in me retiring my old camera with the optical viewfinder. Using the LCD is much easier with glasses. Unfortunately, using the LCD is often impractical, especially outdoors, so I still use the EVF quite a lot.
I was getting my glasses dirty a lot from touching the back of my thumb knuckle to my right lens. It took awhile for me to realize that most folks look through the viewfinder with their right eye, so it’s likely not an issue for them. Unfortunately, training myself to use the right eye just seems like too much so I’ve resigned myself to getting my glasses dirty every time I use the viewfinder. 😕
