    Well, since a display on optics has already appeared, then you need to use its functionality to the maximum.
    To work with a tripod, I can well imagine information such as ..
    - Focusing distance (basic infa)
    – The near limit of acceptable sharpness (additional information)
    – Far limit of acceptable sharpness (additional information)
    – Hyperfocal distance (additional information)
    – General depth of field (additional information)
    – weather forecast and recipes (alternative information)

        There is that is ... I saw them on Zeiss. They just display the same thing as the usual window of any other lens. It's like installing a display on the bumper of a car to display a license plate. It seems to me that if technologies are already being introduced, then the potential must be fully used, and not just “highlighting”.
