Magnifier for Leica M viewfinders, aiding focussing accuracy when using longer lenses.
Key features:
- x1.15 magnification of the viewfinder image
- four lens surfaces multicoated for bright optical image. The only product of its kind to feature this.
- stepless variable diopter adjustment facility (-3.0 ~ +1.0)
On cameras with 0.85 magnification (e.g. Leica M3, Leica M6) this magnifier will result in natural view allowing shooting with both eyes open.
On cameras with 0.72 magnification (e.g. Leica M2, Leica M4, Leica M6) this magnifier will result in an approximate 0.85 magnification for comfortable and accurate focussing.
Frameline visibility on Leica M8 (0.68 native magnification; without eyeglasses):
1.15x magnifier - all frames (24*/28/35/50/75/90)
1.25x magnifier - frames 28*/35/50/75/90
1.35x magnifier - frames 28*/35/50/75/90
* may require moving your eye around the viewfinder slightly to see the frame
A customer comments about the use on the Leica M9:
The x1.15 on the M9 0.68 M9 viewfinder provides about a 0.78 which is a little better than the standard M 0.72 on the film Ms.
The x1.35 provides a 0.90 viewfinder which is a little better than the 0.85 mag finder available for the film Ms.
ATTENTION: due to Leica patent restrictions, this product is not available to customers for rangefinder camera use in Germany and the United States of America!
