Thanks to those that have politely pointed that out. Edited July 29, 2019 by lucerne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted July 29, 2019 Share #23 Posted July 29, 2019 Lucerne, it's that adaptor we are talking about ( 24001 link to Leica web site ) to use "old" (12mm diameter) magnifiers or diopters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is specifically for fitting /adapting old size diopters (eyesight correction lenses)to to the M10 eyepiece. To be clear, diopter lenses correct eye deficiencies, and are not view magnifiers. For the purpose intended , they work. does anyone know if Leica have designed and released new magnifiers for the M10 or released an adaptor for old magnifiers to fit the M10 eyepiece Leica specifies use with magnifiers... https://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/Technical-Equipment/Viewfinder-Accessories/Thread-Adapter Jeff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magixaxeman Posted July 29, 2019 Share #27 Posted July 29, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Buying diopters you really need to get the newer ones designed for the M10, otherwise your loosing the advantages of having a larger viewfinder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, for some of the VF advantages, which include a bigger opening, better eye relief and higher built-in magnification.

Wepe Posted July 30, 2019 Share #29 Posted July 30, 2019 On 7/26/2019 at 4:38 PM, Ellana said: Hello, I was looking to get a magnifier for my Leica M10 https://cameravs.com/Leica-M10. From what I've read, it seems that Leica changed the threading in the eyepiece, so the 1.25x and 1.4x magnifiers they sell won't fit without an adapter. Am I correct about this? Are there any magnifiers available for the m10 that don't require an adapter? it seems silly to spend $100 just to be able to use a little glass lens that already costs $400 (yes I know, it's Leica). Thanks! Are you sure that you need a magnifier? In many cases using the correct dioptre is more effective. A magnifier reduces the angle of view, the eye relief and the contrast of the viewfinder, and in some cases may magnify the original problem as well. Basically, given a decent eyesight, an M-RF/VF will enable easy focusing without magnification, provided it (and the lens) is properly calibrated and that proper eye correction -if needed- by the dioptre is used. The only exceptions might be "difficult" lenses, like the Noctiluxes, Summilux 75, Apo-Telyt, etc., but even then... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evikne Posted July 31, 2019 Share #30 Posted July 31, 2019 I was out yesterday shooting with my 75 Summilux. I took about 100 pictures, mostly candid portraits, and the focus on most of them was spot on! I was a bit worried when I tested the lens on my Spyder Lenscal, but I wasn't sure I had focused precisely enough. In real life however, I see there is no need to worry about any calibration issues or focus shift. Testing lenses at home only causes unnecessary worries. The 75 Lux is simply my best lens, no doubt about that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted August 2, 2019 Share #31 Posted August 2, 2019 I went through a magnifier phase.. No real benefit. Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
