Magnifier M 1.25 x

[sthan]

Small disappointment with my 1.25x
When I screw the diopter correcting less on the ad hoc thread,
it does not properly screw on it : running void.

Any idea ?

I think that one part screws on tightly and the other is "free floating", as it were, if that's what you mean. If so, it's normal.

Best,

K.P.

Thanks Leica Mage
No, I know the middle ring is free floating (being attached by is chain
to the camera).
I'm speaking of the correcting lens I screw on the items itself (to shoot
without glasses).
This correcting lens should fit tight on the thread and it does not.

It does on mine, naver had an issue with that. I guess the correction lens fits OK on the camera? If so have you checked to see that the 1.25 magnifier has a thread milled where the correction lens can fit? If it is a new one, take it back and get a replacement.

Quite... sounds like a thread problem.

Well, on the finder itself, no problem, the thread fits.
On the Magnifier, it doesn't : I can thread, bit it remains a bit loose.
Thanks anyway…
