[OM] Dioptric Correction

Hi all, from a list newcomer--

I'm very mildly nearsighted (correction -0.75), and in bright light I can focus my OM-2N fine without glasses. In dim light though, I can't quite do it. And I don't like wearing glasses to shoot, because then eye position becomes too critical.

So I would like to pick up the correct dioptric correction eyecup. I'm glad to learn I'm not the only one who finds the numbering system for these a little mystifying!

Can anyone who has actually looked at the different numbered lenses confirm that the nominal "-1" is the weakest negative correction?

Any recommendations for a good source? Any comments on Eyecup 1 vs. Eyecup 2? (Eyecup 1 actually looks a little nicer to me. . . )

Thanks very much,

  --Ross
