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.
