Questions & Answers

LON L : Is this compatible with the M10-R ?
Steven S : Will this help in focusing sharper images with a 35mm lens attached on a Leica M9 or M-E?Steven S : Thank you! You answered my question well.JOHN R : Yes I keep it on my M9 100% of the time unless I am shooting less than 28mm A must have without live view or auto focusSteven S : Your answer does help! Thank you!DINA B : I bought this for the same reason to try and make it easier to focus with the 35mm lens on my M9. This helped me some with the focusing. I have bad eyes so it might have helped more if I didn't have bad eyes. Hope this helps.Steven S : Thank you!RICHARD Y : Yes, if you have normal eyes and no eye related scars and opacities , the magnifier will help. I like mine and it helps with critical focusing and helps you to be more critical about your focusing!
Shopper : Do I have to remove the viewfinder eyepiece for this to install? I can' t get the original eyepiece off my m8.2.GREGORY K : Stop right there! The eyepiece stays right where it is. You screw this magnifier into the threaded eyepiece ring itself. Remember, it is magnifying the view through the camera body's finder and doesn't supplant any of those elements. It's basically a very tiny, very high quality, and very pricey screw-in loupe.Dick A : No, it screws into the center of the eyepiece. DickJOHN R : Dear shopper Magnifer screws directly into the eyepiece on my M9, yours (M8.2) is likely the same unless a cup ect.. has been added I leave it on when shooting 50mm or greater all the time, focus is spot on with it! Regards, JohnLAWRENCE L : No, It screws on directly.

Great device, does exactly what it needs to do and perfect for long focal lengths.

Works perfectly. I bought the magnifier specifically to use on my Leica M while photographing with a 90 mm focal length. Typically with a rangefinder in that focal length the frame lines are very small in the rangefinder and it can be difficult to compose an image. The magnifier brings the field of view significantly closer to the eye and makes the photography experience at 90 mm on a rangefinder much more enjoyable. The build quality is up to par for Leica, it's small enough so that it doesn't stick out from the camera too much, and the chain connector is perfect for ensuring that you do not lose the little device.

Extremely Useful

This product has typical Leica clarity, brilliance and high price. It is, however, VERY useful for use with longer lenses that have correspondingly higher focus precision demands and smaller viewfinder windows. I use it on .72 M cameras for 50mm and up lenses and on an M3 for 90 and 135 mm lenses.

Not an accessory but essential

I had problesm to find a focus with the Leica M9 before. The magnifier 1.4 helped me a lot and I had to undergo a surgery of the right eye and could not to use it for 3 days. With the magnifier one can use the camera with the right or with the left eye. With or without glasses. My fotos are much better now.

Brilliant, but expensive

This in combination with a diopter makes for more accurate focusing in the longer focal lengths. It is typically Leica high quality and does not degrade the brightness of the viewfinder.

Very useful.

This item is a great help when using 50mm and longer lenses in the .72 viewfinder of most modern M cameras.

sure thing

The magnifier is easy to attach and remove. It makes focusing substantially faster and more accurate. The little case that attaches to the M8 strap is a typical Leica touch: at first, the case seems silly, but in use the case is brilliant.
