The Olympus OM-4 (and OM-3?) have built-in diopter correction for eyeglass wearers so the camera can be used without glasses. Although I only use glasses for driving, (aprox 1/2 diopter correction) I find my OM-4 easier to focus than my OM-2 because I was able to fine-tune it for my shooting eye. The obvious disadvantage is that others cannot use such a camera if the correction required is gross, also, you cannot switch eyes if your eyes are very different, but I think it is a useful innovation, and makes these cameras especially of interest to eyeglass wearers. -- :::::: Jan Steinman Box 1000, MS 61-161 (w)503/685-2843 :::::: :::::: tektronix!tekecs!jans Wilsonville, OR 97070 (h)503/657-7703 ::::::
