Re: Dynax 5xi viewfinder display issue

If the view is out of focus when your both either wearing glasses for distance ( or not ) , it might be the diopter is wrong for you .

As already mentioned the basic cameras didn't have a diopter adjustment like the more advanced cameras , but both Minolta and Sony did/do a seperate clip on one .

I have  a few of these in a -3 diopter for when I'm using a camera but don't want to be wearing glasses .

See here on M.Hohners website ; https://mhohner.de/sony-minolta/camera_acc.php#viewf

They just slot into the recess of the viewfinder , to remove , you just use your finger nail to prise it out from the side .

Both the Sony and Minolta ones are the same fitting and fit on any of the digital or film SLR's /DSLR's .

I don't think they fit on Sony SLT's , but the diopter adjustment on these tend to cover the full range needed .

.

Unless you knew one had been fitted , it wouldn't be obvious that ones fitted .

If you want a couple of shots of a viewfinder withy one fitted and the same with it not fitted , let me know and I will post a couple of images .
