My wife and I shoot quite a few weddings, as the second shooter (and a eyeglass wearer) the glare is a pain in the rear I'm always looking through the top of my glasses or shades to get a better picture. Anyone else wear glasses use this eye cup? If so is it a benefit over the factory one thats pretty much flush with the body?

I wear sunglasses with these, and usually I do the same thing you do. I pull them down to look through better. This is just a replacement for the standards eye cup, so it will not solve your issue.

I did not get my sight on perfectly straight. I have yet to get it to the range to see if it is good enough. My last sight had the same issue, so I'm not inclined to blame the sight. You might want to have a gunsmith stick it on for you. You might have better luck if you have a gun vice. I was afraid to use a vice myself. Well, that's my story.

I have not had a problem with it. I think it depends on your style of shooting and placement of your weapon. I find these goggles not to hinder my field of vision.

I spoke with my optomistrist, and she indicated that she knew of no eye condition that would prevent a person from using this type of light. She actually encouraged it. She did recommend that each person check with their own eye doctor, and if there was any discomfort at all, to discontinue use. She also advised against staring right in the light, but rather, let it shine on the side of your face.

I have the 47, yes there is some glare. Its worse than a matte screen but not as bad as some other glossy screens I have seen. During the day with a bunch of ambient light I turn the backlight up to about 70 or 80 and its not a problem. At night I generally turn off all my lights and turn down the backlight to 20 or 30 for the best experience.

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.

I was having the same problem. The anti glare didn't stop the glare completely but it is greatly improved. I don't regret mine.

I wear glasses and it works fine. I do find I have to clean glasses after shooting anyway. I have the "top" thingy on my camera also.

I haven't noticed any unusual "glare" problems with the design, other than the standard reflectivity of the clear, plastic plate cover that comes with the frame. I installed the matte side of the 3M Filter facing out, so nothing extra is added by it. It really works great on both my car and pickup, and have had no notice or comments by anyone unaware of the unit.

I use this magnifier almost daily. At first I tried to use them wearing my glasses but I couldn't get used to my field of vision. Everything seemed to be wavy and it was disorienting. I don't have any problem using them without my glasses though. My vision seems normal..only magnified.

The front element of this lens is so big and curving a filter and holder would have had to be huge so I can see the point of not having screw-on filter capability. Personally, I never use filters as I feel they get in the way of achieving maximum image sharpness as it's just more glass and surfaces to get dirty or reflect off angle glare or reflections. As others have pointed, most filter effects you can achieve with Photoshop. For protection, the slip on lens cap has been just fine for me, just came back from Yosemite, no problems. As others said, the cut-out sunshade hood works to protect the lens as well. I don't worry about damaging the front element and the super-wide angle view is worth the risk.

I have worn my regular glasses, sunglasses over contacts, and safety glasses at varying times. I haven't noticed any discomfort. I use the Bilsom during leaf blowing/vacuuming and find some kind of eye covering beneficial. On the other hand, I don't do this for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Interesting that you asked this question as I am pondering this myself though with the haze filter. Different schools of thought from using as "protection of camera lens" to cutting glare to those who don't use them at all. This filter is on at all times during the day unless shooting in very low light. My haze filter not so sure about.

you can get some exceptional candid close up shots with this lens the blur out the back well! I say try it. Not for the whole wedding though, you might want another lens.

I just received mine and the first thing I tried was my reading glasses underneath. Worked fairly well. My everyday safety glasses had a reading bifocal lens on them. Of course it's too big to go under these, but I intend to buy a pair of those half-lens readers to go with this, since I need my regular vision in the workshop as well without having to take off two pairs of eye wear each time. Happy that I wear drugstore #2 glasses for reading. I bought these for the non-fogging quality.

I have the crystal clear version, as the anti glare gives the screen a slight haze. It doesn't bother some people, but I wanted to get the most of my retina display. I have no complaints so far.

I'm using the original and have it clipped to the temples of my glasses. I found the distance between the mirror and my eye perfect, getting a good view of what's behind me. However, I tried moving it back to simulate a compact, I found it quite impossible to view the mirror. Might work if clipped to some part of your helmet visor though. I don't want to have it on my helmet as I'm usually quite rough with it.
