SBLOO with X1?

I have a chance to pick up a Leitz SBLOO viewfinder at a reasonable price.

Classic look...nice but not critical

Larger viewer...very bright supposedly...a BIG plus

 

BUT.....

How will work it with eyeglasses? The Voigtlander works well.

 

It is larger, so does it block a view of the little focus light on the X1?

the light is evidently visible with the Voigtlander and of course with the X1 viewfinder.

 

I love the larger size viewer and the brightness but want to make sure I don't tradeoff the other qualities of the Voigtlander.

 

I know Andy has this one. Hopefully a few others do as well.

 

Thanks.

Mark, it is easy to overlook the 'Search' menu item, but try it and you will discover quite a few threads, more than I remembered. I am sure you will some of the current users reporting their thoughts.

Thanks David. A good idea. as my son would say "duhhhh...." No posting that I could find re the eyeglass question, but one that did indicate being able to see the light. I also did a Google search and found a posting that essentially said all the vintage Leica viewfinders had excellent eye relief.

I have a similar Leica viewfinder, an old 28mm which I use on my M3. I have no problems using it with spectacles.
