I too have a lot of astigmatism and found that they do not make contact lenses
that would cope with it, ( unless I wanted to have hard contact leneses at
$500/pair ). I guess that Marty has a similar problem and the cost to change
the viewfinder on the camera would probably be cheaper than contact lenses.
