It certainly depends on the results you're after. If you're photographing landscapes you're not worried about "missing something", and taking lots of pictures without manual adjustments won't do any good.

I thought the diopter adjustment could compensate for glasses?

The problem I had when I tried it was that I could get everything looking perfect through the viewfinder, but the resulting picture was blurred. My current prescriptions round to the nearest 0.25 (glasses) / 0.5 (contacts) dioptres.

Even if I could make a perfect adjustment, my vision alters during the day. For example when tired things can get a little blurry.

I have 3.2 dioptres and have no problem at all with the hasselblad manual focus.

I'm at -5 and -6 and the last time I tried things was with a Nikon many years ago.
