I joined a week or two ago.
I was showing my 1.25 magnifier to another photographer and took off
of it the +1 diopter that I normally use with it. Later when I was
getting ready to place the magnifier and diopter back together and
onto the camera, I noticed that its lenses and spacer had dropped out!
Luckily I found all the pieces and was able to replace them in the
correct sequence.
Has this happened to anyone else? While it was a quick fix (I intend
to use a bit of rubber cement to hold things firmly in place), the
though of it happening in the field prompts this message.

1.25 magnifier warning
in Leica and Rangefinders
Posted
Thank you for your welcome and your helpful suggestions. I keep the
diopter in place all the time when not showing it to someone. If I try
to cement things it'll be with cynaoacrylate (the optics are not
threaded). I got my 1.25x from Germany and so I'd have to return it
to Leica AG, in all likelihood. It works as is, I like what it does,
so I'll just be forewarned and leave things as they are.
