Yeah I did not have much luck finding one. Seems most diopters out there for the 67/6x7 prism are for farsighted people.

Hey all. Finally pieced together my Pentax 67 kit and immediately noticed one major issue: because I wear glasses I was not able to see the whole viewfinder -- in fact my view was very much cropped. However, because the 67 TTL Prism doesn't have an adjustable diopter I could not see well enough through the prism without my glasses on. So after doing some research on this forum and other places, I decided to take out the glass/ring and bring it to my optometrist to see if they could make a prescription diopter for me. Turns out they are going to do it (though it will cost about $65). My prescription is actually -1.75 FYI -- and yes I hate wearing contacts. Anyway I will update here when I get the glass in and report on how well this worked.
Anyone else have a similar experience, and if so what was your solution?

I've only used a good ol' K1000. It was a fun camera, but unfortunately it died a couple of years ago. I'm in the process of unloading my Mamiya 645AFD kit and slowing things down a bit (and getting back to my favorite format: 6x7).

Hey guys. I am almost a Pentax user: a 67 body is on its way to my house. I will likely have lots of questions soon. Excited to connect with you guys and learn.
