Thanks, hopefully that is the answer.

Just an update on this. Yesterday I visited Richard Caplan in London since I know that they keep a virtually full range of Leica correction lenses. I tried several, using them with my 1.25 Leica magnifier which previously had given me larger but less clear images, so I had in fact abandoned it.
I tried three, +0.5. +1.0 and +1.5, focussing on items in a display cabinet some 2 metres away and then on a very useful set of iron railings across the road. I took my time over this in order to try to get it right.When I got to the +1.5 it was clear that for me the +1.0 correction was the best.
I confirmed this result this morning. I focus on a small grid of 16 squares just 13mm sq
(blank finely bordered cells, printed on white paper, from MS Excel) from a distance of 1.7 metres. The cells now snap absolutely clearly into focus.
A great result.
