Thank you for this suggestion! I tried it, & when there's plenty of DOF for
focusing, I can definitely do better w/o glasses. I'll still focus on close
subjects or at wide apertures with my glasses & the magnifier, & then take the
glasses off (assuming the subject isn't trying to run away). The trick will be
to avoid an earpiece intruding in front of the taking lens.
