Kinotehnik LCDVF with glasses?

[michasacuer]

Hi, i have a question. I Want to buy two Kinotehnik's viewfinders for my and my friend. We work with Canon C100 and eyecups are not that good like we want. We are wearing glasses. My defect of vision is "-1" and his is spectacular "-7". If there are can be problems with using this viewfinders with glasses? They dont have a correction of diopter.

Thanks for help.

Not sure any of this will be helpful, but anyways...

I have a couple of Kinotehnik's loupes that I used on BMPCC. Bought them before Zacuto released their version.

The Kinotehnik is a quality product, but attaches with magnets so easy enough to knock off, while Zacuto's snaps onto a frame which is likely more secure. That said I've never used a C100 & don't know how either loupe plays with it's LCD.

And while I don't wear prescription glasses I did need a bit of correction. Kinotehnik sells a diopter set which is basically a few 37mm close-up lenses. I believe many owners bought 3rd party sets instead OEM, either out of convenience, or just saving a buck.

If you don't know to remove the eyecup first the diopters are a PIA to install. The video below demos the correct method.
