I purchased a used Xpro1 and need a diopter but I have a question about the strength I need. If I'm using +3 reading glasses and I look through the viewfinder the info in there is clear. So, do I need a +3 diopter?

I see Cameraquest has some but are there anywhere else to find these maybe the original Fuji ones?
 
I hope this helps:

"Again, a setting of -1 is almost always adequate for people of normal vision (don’t ask me how).

If you require a correction past the range of -3 to +1 for your camera that features an adjustable diopter, in some cases, you can combine a maxed-out setting on your camera with an additional external correction piece for a greater change from the standard setting (i.e. going all the way to -3 on the D5’s diopter setting and then adding a -3 correction piece could get you to an end result of -5; remember, the -3 correction piece is only a -2 change from the camera’s built-in -1 value). But this supposedly only be done on some cameras (check your manual for more information)."

"This chart matches your prescription level with the correct Nikon correction lens to get for your camera body. Do note that in many cases, your camera may have a built-in diopter that can and should be used to set the correct value for your needs."
