jamie_robertson2 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 <p>Have any of you folks seen this: http://www.mgrproduction.net/#!product/prd1/3594183071/adjustable-viewfinder-magnifier</p> <p>It adjusts from 1.1x to 1.6x magnification and fits all Leica M bodies. It looks a tad bulky but for that price it may well just find its way into my camera bag. Works out at about £65 or $95.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray . Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Looks a bit awkward... maybe even dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_elwing Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 <p>1.6 would be nice for 90 &135. Are you going to buy one, Jamie, and tell us how you fare? It doesn't look like it has any dioptric adjustment?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 135mm lens for my M6 TTL so this could be just the ticket. Unfortunately my M6 is sick at the moment and it could be a few weeks before she recovers.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_elwing Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 <p>A Leica Forum post suggests it is only a movable dioptric adjustment for focusing. You might want to clarify. I couldn't find anyone else who claimed to have used it.<br> "This device has a focus ring and without my glasses the focus ring reaches the limit of adjust and the focus is near the correct. So, I presume that it can correct focus until -5.0 diopter. By the way, I think that it does not magnify nothing; it only adjust focus.

james_elwing Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 <p>There does seem to be only one adjustment, so it will be viewfinder magnification or dioptric not both.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
