| ->> Hey its time for a new pair of glasses. I have been shooting with glasses since I started shooting. I am wondering if anyone shooting with glasses is using the plastic, polycarbonate, transitional lens, polarzied lens. What lens are you using?? |

->> I have a pair of prescription sunglasses that are polarized and have found when I try to look at my display when the camera is in portrait orientation on a monopod you cant 't see the screen. Evidently the display is also polarized.
At first I thought my camera was not working then startled the guy shooting next to me by laughing out loud at myself when I realized what was happening.
My regular glasses are polycarb and the only problem I have had is that after about a year the eyepiece gradually buffs a bad spot in them at the top. |

| ->> Do not get polarized! Like Kevin said, it will make viewing your camera LCD impossible. I have had transitional for a long time and get by just fine, although I prefer to shoot without my glasses. |

->> Marvin,
If you can get the same presrciption for contacts this is the way to go! I was not too comfortable with the idea of contacts but finaly went that way and will never go back to glasses. It was strange putting them in the first week or so but now it takes 15 seconds an eye.

| ->> I have always been a fan of the polycarbonate lenses. I like to spend a little more on the scratch resistant anti-reflective coating. The polycarbonate lenses seem to be a little more susceptible to glare and scratching. The scratching is a much larger problem if you have a tendency to loose you camera's rubber eye cup like me. |
