How much Diopter adj on Fed-2?

[Overkill-F1]

I've been considering purchasing a Fed-2 but don't know if I can use it because I like to take off my glasses to focus.
Does anyone know how much Diopter adjustment is available on a Fed-2?
I require a diopter of -3.0 on my other cameras. I have a screw-in one for my Nikon F2 & Nikkormat.
My two Canon dslr's are adjustable from +1 to -3, so I'm good there.
My Nikonos III is zone focus only so I can deal with it as I just use the viewfinder for composition.
I also take my glasses off when focusing my 4x5" camera.
Thanks for any information you may have.

I'm not sure of the exact amount, but I'd wager it would be enough for you. I have good vision and don't wear glasses, but my FED-2's diopter goes from "normal" to "Oh my God, there's something horribly wrong with this viewfinder!". :-). It was rather completely unviewable for me when I got it and I was starting to have buyer's remorse, until I discovered what that funny little lever was for!

The manual says plus/minus 2 diopters.

Thank you both.

I typically use a -2 or -3 corrective lens on cameras that accept them, and the adjustment on my FED-2 is enough for me plus a bit more.
By all means get a FED-2; it's certainly the best looking of the FSU cameras, and probably one of the most usable.

Cheers,

Thank you Dez, I have ordered one from Hero4g / Synoptics on Ebay. He has been quite helpfull. I asked him the same question and he was unable to find any information about it. He did some testing on a Fed-2 and he thinks it goes as far as -3.5 or so.
