using DSLR while wearing rimless spectacles

<p>I've used SLR's and DSLR's while wearing spectacles with no problem.<br>

I'm contemplating getting rimless specs with seem more fragile. Does anyone have experience using SLR/DSLR while wearing rimless spectacles? Does it stress the rimless specs, even causing breakage?</p>

 

<p>Roger, I have rimless glasses that I use with my D300. It works fine, except occasionally I'll get a little smudge on my glasses from the rubber rim around the viewfinder. You shouldn't have any problem.<br>

<p>I used the combo for a couple of years with no problems. Oddly enough the rimless glasses are not as flimsy as they seem.</p>

<p>My favorite pair(s) are 3-piece drill mount Silhouette frames. Besides being fine for use through the viewfinder, they have been stepped on, twisted, bent and straightened back.</p>

<p>They are the lightest, most comfortable pair of specs that I have ever owned. (And I own close to 20 pair.)</p>

<p>Even though my rimless frames are durable, I pull them up on my forehead when I look through the viewfinder. I want to see the maximum view and I press the camera against my face for added stability.</p>

<p>As a spectacle wearer, I find Live View to be indispensable. You might want to give it a try.</p>

<p>I not only use rimless glasses, but I'm also left eye dominate. My only issue is my nose sometimes hits the focus selector and moves it on me!</p>

<p>I sometimes just take my glasses of and compensate my bad view with the diopter adjustment in the viewfinder.</p>

<p>Steven, my frames are also made by Silhouette. They are the best I've owned.</p>

<p>no problem at all..</p>

<p>I too have silouette frames and I find that they don't get in the way too much. I have also used the diopter and hung the frames around my neck on a cord when shooting. A bigger problem is having to switch between sunglasses and regular frames. I had to get nonpolarized sunglasses so that I would not get interference in the viewfinder of some cameras.</p>

<p>I'd have to add that it also depends on which camera we are talking about. Others are far better on spectacle wearers than others. Eg, I tried the D200 veiwfinder and it was awful with my glasses, you really had to press the veiwfinder/glasses into your eyesocket to see anything, whereas the D700 is terrific for eyeglass wearers, light pressure and the entire veiwfinder is clearly visible. Which cameras is roger refering to ?</p>
