Advertisement Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Hi wizard, Take a look here Does anyone know how to fit a diopter correcting lens on a Leica M2?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
leicacr Posted August 8, 2006 Share #22 Posted August 8, 2006 (1) Leica makes the M correction lenses in whole increments from minus-3 to plus-3 diopters. A quick trip to the Leica website confirms this. (2) I have an M correction lens that does NOT have rubber. The outer rim of the lens is serrated and there is a bit of brass showing through.

leicacr Posted August 8, 2006 Share #24 Posted August 8, 2006 (1) Leica makes M correction lenses in half-diopter increments from minus-3 to plus-3. A quick trip to the Leica website confirms this. (2) I have an M correction lens that does not have rubber. The outer edge of the lens is serrated and there is a bit of brass showing through the black paint; this seldom happens with black rubber.

wda Posted August 8, 2006 Share #25 Posted August 8, 2006 John, definitely do not buy blind without trying one first. I bought one secondhand for my M3 some years ago. When it failed to keep pace with my changing eyesight I resorted to using my bifocal spectacle lens instead. It works that way with my M6 and other devices! I also found that dealers only buy in against a firm order. Not the most satisfactory way of buying an attachment which needs to match your eyesight and the camera viewfinder optics.

leicacr Posted August 8, 2006 Share #26 Posted August 8, 2006 (Andy, I saw my typo and immediately added the other post.) Sidelight on having to order without testing. . . I bought my correction lens at Central Camera in Chicago. They had a gauge--a metal plate holding all the diopter choices--which, I think, was supplied by Leica; it made ordering about 95% sure.
