I have to agree Eddie, and if your model has "catch in focus" it is a boon you simply select your focus point and slowly wind the focus ring until focus is reached and voila the shutter fires. Fantastic

As an OAP I need to get all the help I can while these old eyes can still see, So relying more on the auto features , would even prefer the 50mm AF but it's so darn expensive at the moment, so thought the 50MM A lens would be a useful compromise for the limited use needed.

When adjusting the dioptre it is vital not to be looking at an image as our eyes try to compensate and the setting will be wrong. Look at a defocused plain white wall, or even take off the lens. Now adjust the dioptre until the etched lines are sharp and you will have the correct setting for your eyes.

I wear varifocal glasses in normal reading and distance etc. However I have not found it necessary to wear them when focusing and viewing through the viewfinder.
"it does matter that you adjust the dioptre setting for your own eyesight, either with or without glasses".
As suggested by Joe and John, I check the dioptre setting from time to time, to ensure best focusing possible when needed.

Check out listings for pentax film cameras like the Super A and P30 etc, as they frequently come with this lens attached and tend to go for less ( often much less) than the lens on it's own.
