I tried to order another Walter RX eyepiece yesterday, but got the following reply today:

 

"Hello,

 

With regard to your purchase of the Walter RX eyepiece.

 

I am afraid that due to production problems we are not able to supply the

item you have purchased.

 

Our production has stopped indefinitely. The moment there is any change, I

will contact you again and if you still wish to order we can then proceed.

 

I do apologise for the unforeseen problems occurred and any possibly

inconvenience this may have caused you.

 

I have credited the funds back into your paypal (or credit card) account and

the funds should reflect immediately or if a credit card was used, then

within a few days.

 

Again, my humble apologies.

Best regards,

Jean-Louis Beek"

 

This is really a pity, I loved it, and it really solved my focusing challenges due to astigmatism. Does anybody know more what has happened?

Darnn. I now wish I had ordered two of the last screw-in model.

Hi to my Leica family!

 

The Walter Eyepiece is still in production - now more than ever!

I am still the original inventor and manufacturer of the WALTER Eyepiece.

 

I just went solo and started my own website: Walter Leica M-Stedi

 

Good news: As I do not have to share the costs, I managed to make the Eyepiece more affordable, cutting the price with $100.

 

I would also like to take this opportunity to launch my latest invention - the WALTER mStedi. This ingenious device improves the grip, providing better stability, resulting in better quality Leica pictures.

 

Happy shooting!

WALTER:)
