Kent,
Here's my story, for what it's worth.
I went through a period of a couple of years with similar angst, not being
able to focus my R7 and then my R9 (nor an M6) as well as I could with an
R4, which I used for many years.
I was changing eye glass prescriptions regularly, wearing my glasses, doing
all the viewfinder diopter adjustments correctly, and added an additional
corrective viewfinder lens too, but the prints I got back were proof that I
could no longer focus as well as I used to be able to do with the R4.
Bummer.
Then my ophthalmologist told me the eye I was using for focusing, my right
eye, had hit 20/400 uncorrected and said it was time for cataract surgery. I
cannot believe the difference the new lens that was implanted makes.
Focusing is once more a breeze and the colors I see with the new eye are
strikingly bluer than the yellowish hue I still have (but didn't know I
had!) in my other eye.
In my case, my problem at age 75 was not my camera but my eye.
Cheers,
Bill
