Are they full frame readers or bifocal? I need full frame correction for target shooting as per eye Dr.

Bi-focal, reading on lower part. I love them in the shop machine area, even read in them. Shooting, not likely good.

They're like "readers" with correction for close-up only at the bottom of the lens. If you are target shooting, I would think you'd want distance correction, not close range as a reader provides.

The reader lens is at the bottom center, the rest is clear plastic with no magnification. Shooting glasses are tricky. I am an instructor and the most important thing is a crystal clear view of the front sight. Luckily for me I am near sighted and can see the front sight clearly with no correction. I have to put the clear sight on the blurry target and shoot. Works for me out to 50 yards with pistol or rifle. Beyond that I need an optic.

They are bifocal. The upper part of each lens has no correction/magnification. The "reader" correction/magnification is located only in the bottom part of the lens. Therefore, I'm guessing that these glasses are probably not what you're looking for.

I use this often and I couldn't tell you for sure. However, I'm freakin' blind, even with bifocal contacts lenses I keep reading glasses in all my camera bags to focus with even a 7" HDMI monitor. And it's great, magnification wise - you will nail focus far better than just using the LCD. The bigger issue of this one is using it on a rail system - it offsets your camera by 15mm left or right (depending which mounting hole you use). So you're SOL if you use a rail-mount matte box (my follow focus does fine). You need a camera baseplate that adjusts left/right to align with a matte box. I've used this on rails with huge lenses, and find lens supports still work OK though. I use this often and I couldn't tell you for sure.

Yes. I have horrible eyesight, but I hate shooting with glasses on. The Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) on this camera is awesome, and there is a diopter (a little "focus" button) specifically for dialing in your specific vision issues. If you can buy reading glasses off the shelf, then your vision falls into the range the diopter can correct for.

Sigmas are known for focusing issues - play it safe and go Canon for sure. Plus if you graduate to full frame you'll still be able to use it.

I saw that also. I want to say the ones I had checked were in the 308**** range if I'm remembering right. 30** for sure. Bummer. I'm running out of summer and I've got the itch for a DSLR. I may go for the Canon T1i. But I really like the user menu Nikon uses. That and the pictures seem better.

It appears to be the case. NO magnification, and with a nice Zombie sticker on the side. These type of reticules are not for extreme accuracy. They are great for close combat but not for longer range accuracy. I ended up with a Pentax 4 - 12 x 40 scope that is dead on! For what they can be used for they do good job.

really depends on the health of your eyesight but for me no problem at 100 yrds just can't see the bullet impacts . i mainly use the 3x magnifier at 50 yrds and up and it helps me get on target quicker with my Vortex Strikefire Gen II

There is a small round knob near the viewfinder which adjusts the focus on it. You should adjust it while wearing your glasses if you wear them while taking photos. If you wear bifocals, the focus may be trickier to adjust depending on where you are looking through your glasses.

Hi Bob, the good news is that you generally need to be concerned with parallax settings when using highly magnified scopes, at long ranges, in situations requiring ultra-precision (think completion targets). For a better explanation than I can give see the following http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/what-is-parallax-2.php

They do have a 2.5 and 3.0, but they are all bifocal. The upper part of the lenses are plain, no correction.

I have had the S4500 for just a few weeks. I wear tri-focals and lve. them on while shooting. I just did some testing and here's what I found: With my glasses on, I focused on an object (auto) The Image looked sharp in the viewer, and in "reviewing". I then lined-up another shot - without my glasses, moved the shutter button half-way down - object was blurred but I took the shot anyway. Reviewed it (on the camera back) and it was fine. Conclusion (after two more tests) the camera was focusing correctly regardless of what I was seeing ! Highly recommend you do same testing to confirm. Having checked other review, I agree this model does NOT have a Diopter (previous Fuji model I owned did) but I am already used to this system - but then I'm not a pro! Oh, don't forget when shooting picture of two people, always point the focus-beam at ONE of the faces then "re-frame" while holding shutter btn. half way down. (sorry if I,m stating the obvious!). Good luck. Harry Hilton

I am also cross eye dominant, and as with all red dots you should be shooting with both eyes open, which should help. I have not found much difference in performance from a "can you see it" perspective between this, an EOTech, and an ACOG, they all work about the same for addressing the cross eye dominance issue.

I have this and if you do not have the pro sightmark recticle, it will be blury and or have a double image. It is frustrating at best. For someting that you want to be accurate at 100 yds, go with a decent scope like a Nikon 4.5-14 x 40 BDC and you will be extremly glad you did. I'm 56 and it is hard for the old eyes to see a 22 size hole in a target at a distance. This is my best sugestion. The red dot recticle is great for close proximity shooting, not so much for longer shooting, Target, etc.

They are small .019 but very bright. I have no problem quickly acquiring a great sight picture, (and that is with 50 yr. old eyes that require bifocal lenses. The sighting in was exactly as advertised and I was impressed with the system. I would advise that the React Pro, (aluminum sight) is the way you should go though. As I was out of state on a hunt when my poly sight broke (while target practicing). Fortunately I was able to find a trophy ridge Micro AlphaV5 sight at a bow shop about an hour away and bought it. Installed it and re-sighted my bow quickly. I actually like the V5 better, (aluminum & longer sight plane, sights in quickly but does require Allen wrenches) They are small .019 but very bright.

When I contacted the manufacturer, I spoke to one of the engineers who admitted that although the parts are from China this is a high quality scope with the reticle in the first focal plane. In short FFP. I noted at high magnification, I had near zero distortion at 200yds. I still shot <1/4" MOA. That is to say, at 200yds, I put bullets through holes.

They are a bit tricky to adjust and get used to. Try holding the binoculars and closing your left eye adjust the ring on the right lens till it's in focus then open your left eye and turn the middle dial until both lens are clear. One set up they are great easy to carry and great for distances my son and I used ours all over Bhutan and were very satisfied! Good luck
