It's exactly this one that makes me believe you are doing something wrong: If the 2 guys were able to see easily, then it should have been something wrong with you. Since all 3 of you can't see, then it is either something wrong with Leica or you mount the magnifier wrong or use it wrong. From the two I would pick the last one...

Btw, have you ever tried looking through the camera's viewfinder from a distance of say, 10cms?
