pgk Posted August 23, 2013 Share #1 Â Posted August 23, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) In the Wiki under Diopter Correction Lenses the entry states: Â Diopter Correction Lenses for the UNIVERSAL WIDE-ANGLE VIEWFINDER M - 12011 & R8 / R9 Â BUT when I try to find more out, the R8/9 dipoters appear to be rectangular whislt the Frankenfinder obviously takes round ones. Does the Frankenfinder actually use the same diopters/rubber eyepiece as the latest R anglefinder? Or does anyone know whether the Frankenfinder rubber eyepiece is the same as any other eyepiece for another Leica item (I've lost mine and am trying to find a replacement......).

pgk Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share #3 Â Posted August 24, 2013 Yes that's correct, but has anyone actually used these on the Frankenfinder or R8?9 and can explain how they actually work on both?

tdavis Posted August 25, 2013 Share #4  Posted August 25, 2013 From image below it looks like 'what's in the box' is a polished glass disc w/o frame or mount. Perhaps someone who has used one could respond. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

brunom Posted August 25, 2013 Share #6 Â Posted August 25, 2013 My R8 has the dioptre adjustment, so I guess these are to be used when your eyesight prescription exceeds the range of the built in one ? Â Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
