Someone else mentioned it awhile back, but it bears repeating...  For 
those who's eyes are fading with age, particularly those who wear 
progressive lenses (or contacts), the addition of an eyecup 2 and the 
appropriate dioptric correction lens makes a BIG difference!

I was seriously thinking 'bout going to AF...  even tried out an IS-20 over 
Christmas...  but I recently added the eyecup and a -5 correction lens to 
my OM-2 and it's now MUCH easier to focus and compose.  Yeah, it's 
taking a bit of getting used to taking my progressives off to shoot, but 
that's NBD (No Big Deal) compared to the hassles of trying to get me 
eye positioned "right" so that I could focus/compose with the 
progressives on.

'Nuther words, works GREAT for me!  YYMV, of course.

Regards,

Chris
