Does anyone use bifocals or progressive lenses while shooting?
Got a wonderful surprise today. Was doing a pre-sale check of my gear for any marks, dust etc. and decided to put on some safety glasses that are a different prescription than my normal glasses. Being nearsighted I can see quite well,in the very near range, without any glasses. The safety glasses were for woodworking and house projects, which normally help in the 1/2 to 1 meter range.
To make a long story not quite so long... I decided to put the lense on a body and look thru same. It was so easy to see and focus. I was quite surprised because without glassses I can see and focus without any blurryness so always figured my difficulties therein was just the way the system was.
Having very recently undergone much Physical Therapy (a last ditch effort) with substantial success and today finding that I can actually see pretty well with the blad I wonder if someone up there is trying to tell me not to sell.
Was at the eye Dr. last week, my prescription has not changed. I have been thinking about getting progressive lenses and am wondering if anyone has any advice thereto? Or any similar stories to tell.
With luck and if I can figure out a way to carry a bit of gear with me I may be able to keep my Hasselblad afterall. And to think I almost dumped the whole system 3 months ago.
Thanks for your time...
