Does it work better when bright / dark, etc? Hi mate In bright areas it sure helps! I was using the magnifier but since i prefer the contrast lens With bright during daylight it really helps and nails better focus Instagram @jakontil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

riswanc Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted July 3, 2017 Did you go with the yellow or rose colored contrast lens?

aliwton Posted September 15, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 15, 2017 I love my Leica M-P with the 35mm f/1.4. But with the 90mm f/2 nailing the focus is quite frequently a problem. I got a EVF-2 but it's just not the good old rangefinder. I have never tried the magnifiers. Do the 1.25x mess with the 35mm frame and the exposure info? Have you tried the 1.4x version? Why didn't you get the Walter Contrast Lense with 1.25x magnification, as you were used to it before? Do you really recommend it? Thanks for the help. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatihayoglu Posted April 30, 2018 Share #11 Posted April 30, 2018 Does anybody have an idea, which gel filter I should get to try out this thing? I don't want to spend +$200 before I know it works so I plan to buy a gel filter which is about $10, cut it and stick it infront of RF window of my Leicas something like would work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-centimeters-Transparent-Correction-Flashlight/dp/B01N0HJXFF/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1525094163&sr=8-5&keywords=yellow+gel+filter Cheers, Fatih Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted April 30, 2018 Share #12 Posted April 30, 2018 Steve Huff raves about the gold one in a very recent post. But previous threads I seem to remember suggested they were a waste of money – all in the imag(e)ination! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see on his page: Different contrast lenses: 1. Normal Plano lens 2. Dioptre lens according to buyer specification. we use 0.25 increments. 3. Magnification lenses according to buyer specification. I guess I can contact him too, but wondered if all three can be added to a single attachment. Edited January 15, 2020 by mirekti Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all three can be added to a single attachment but mine was the standard without anything other than the gold coating contrast lens the gold coating or any other coating I believe, would suffer from low light or indoor as it is like wearing a sunglass 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno_photoguy Posted January 19, 2020 Share #18 Posted January 19, 2020 I have used the gold/yellow Walter Leica contrast filter on my 246 for a few years now (it never comes off). I do find that it helps my focus and puts me in a bit more of a B&W shooting mood. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
