Hi.  I have a MP with a .72 viewfinder.  I would prefer that it had a .85 viewfinder.  Is it possible to have the viewfinder replaced?  Who would do such a procedure?  Anyone have experience with this?  Thank you.  

I have already tried a x1.25 magnifier on my MP.  That does help but I don't like the magnifier sticking out of the camera, plus the rubber o-ring on the magnifier keeps popping off if you brush the viewfinder up against something. 

I exclusively shoot with a 50mm lens.

Here is a link to the Leica repair forms. Let them know what you want and they will send you a quote for the cost:

That will be your starting point and the most expensive. You can also check with Don Goldberg, DAG Camera for his cost. Good luck with the project,

Yes its possible. Leica Customer Care in Wetzlar will do it. I had a 0.58 finder installed multiple times, one just late last year. I just contacted them, send them my camera and they took care of it. But I don't know how the procedure is from outside Germany, personally I would always contact Customer Care in Germany directly.
