Hi George,

To answer your questions: No I do not wear glasses. My 20/15 vision is
non-corrected (that means that I see at 20 feet what an "average" person
sees at 15). My interocular spacing is 67.5mm. My eyelashes touch the
lenses (no, I did not measure the length of my lashes), so there does
not appear to be any "unusual" physical obstructions.

Since only one other person mentioned having the same problem (in an off
list message to me) I will have to assume that it is only me that can
not see the full 5 perf image in a red button viewer.

I was just wondering why? Can you see the full frame (including corners)
on an 8 perf stereo slide without moving the viewer?

If so it must be a physical limitation that I have :( :( :(
