Henning,
Last year I worked with a new cameraman (video photography) for the first
time.
Half way through the morning I noticed he had an interesting glasses
arrangement. He kept one lens in for far sight but for the close up viewing
of the eyepiece on the camera he'd 'emptied' his glasses of the element for
that eye. Very clever thought I...
After lunch he told me he was concerened about the camera lens. It seemed
to be out of kilter, perhaps the 'back focus' had gone on the zoom. Nothing
seemed to look sharp anymore. I cautiously asked about his one eyed
technique with his glasses and found he'd been unaware of losing the
element earlier that day.
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh...

When I go skiing, I wear contacts, and it works well. When I go
diving, I put in one contact, so that one eye can see closeup, and I
can work the camera controls, and the other eye can see distance.
Works wonderfully. Otherwise, I wear my glasses, except when I go to
sleep. My dreams seem to be in sharp focus even without glasses.
