Advertisement Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Hi BBHewee, Take a look here Diopters for the M10?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LeicaGuy2014 Posted March 14, 2017 Share #42 Posted March 14, 2017 Picked up two VF attachments - a -3 diopter and a thread adaptor for an older 1.4x magnifier. I need the magnifier for the Noctilux - eyes getting old and I've been spoiled by the SL's wonderful EVF. Wish we could use both the magnifier and the diopter at the same time ...

jaapv Posted March 14, 2017 Share #43 Posted March 14, 2017 You can, the old type diopter screws into the magnifier. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmphoto Posted March 24, 2017 Share #44 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) FYI B&H seems to have a full supply of M10 diopters and thumb supports in. Edited March 24, 2017 by rsmphoto Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted March 28, 2017 Share #45 Posted March 28, 2017 OK - I fear never on the M. I'm considering going for monocular contact lenses to get round the whole glasses on / glasses off hassle. Getting older has it's drawbacks as well as its consolations. I realised I'd hit middle age when my arms stopped being long enough What I found afer understanding what to look at when using the Diopters is that I can use my multi fofal glasses with a +1.0 diopter and see perfectly clearly with my glasses on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff S Posted March 28, 2017 Share #46 Posted March 28, 2017 I needed a +0.5 to see sharper Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. G Posted November 10, 2017 Share #47 Posted November 10, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does the Visioflex 020 have a diopter adjustment and does it show the correction on the display? If so, could you just dial in the correction on the Visioflex and then order the same strength diopter for the VF, or is there still some variability?

marcg Posted November 10, 2017 Share #48 Posted November 10, 2017 Yes it does have an adjuster. No it doesn't show the correction on the display. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPP1 Posted November 10, 2017 Share #49 Posted November 10, 2017 Adjustable from -3 to +3. The knob has a total of 15 positions and a zero mark so you can get a rough estimate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemeyer Posted November 11, 2017 Share #50 Posted November 11, 2017 I guess you would have to consider that the OVF has some small adjustment already, but I can’t remember if it’s + or - 0.5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 11, 2017 Share #51 Posted November 11, 2017 Yes, but that is not a correction for an eye defect. It is meant to aid eye-accommodation to a distance between to 2m (the virtual distance of the RF patch) and infinity for somebody with perfect eyesight. As soon as eyesight isn't perfect, this becomes a shifting target. Somebody with a minor defect, which does not need correction by spectacles in daily life, may well find focussing easier with a diopter. This is also the reason that the try-out method to determine diopter strength is preferable to attempts at a simple calculation. Only an expert can calculate the strength correctly, provided he has full and recent measurement details by an optimetrician. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Posted March 5, 2018 Share #52 Posted March 5, 2018 I am considering buying the Thread Adapter because I used magnifiers on my Mono 1 which helped me focus with my 90mm lens. Since it's not too pricey I think it's a nice addition, even to the electronic viewfinder. One thing I just don't get behind is the product picture on the Leica site displaying the pouch and two 'metal plates' inside?! What are they supposed to be? I notice that the top plate has the adapter ring on it but why such a big plate and what's the bottom plate for? Sorry, just curios about their design choice! :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne Posted March 5, 2018 Share #53 Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) The bottom plate is a tool to turn and tighten the diopter in to the adaptor. The adaptor / diopter combination screws into the camera body. So, first fit and tighten into the rear of the adaptor using the tool and that avoids putting finger marks on the glass. Second, fit adaptor into the camera. The diopter cannot be removed from the front. The size of the tools and holder are sensibly designed to make handling the actual diopter much easier.

Jeff S Posted March 5, 2018 Share #54 Posted March 5, 2018 Better eye coverage by buying the M10 specific diopter. And a lot easier. Jeff 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafael_macia Posted March 8, 2018 Share #55 Posted March 8, 2018 Better eye coverage by buying the M10 specific diopter. And a lot easier.Jeff +1 I love the -3 on the M10! It is larger, clearer, and offers a brighter picture. (one thing; my eyes lately have gotten better. I now use -3.25, down from -4.25. I am lucky!) my two -4 diopters, and one -5 Leica diopter,(not made by Leica for 30 years or so), are useless. They sit in a drawer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spuser Posted April 23, 2018 Share #56 Posted April 23, 2018 I have -2.25 myself. With the built-in -0.5, I always thought the -2.0 diopter was enough and have been using one for years. This time, I actually tried -2.0 and -3.0. Turns out -3.0 is a spectacular difference. I would just get a few and try them out. exactly same here! did you finally go -2 or -3? thanks!
