Does anyone use a Viewfinder Magnifier on their M8?

I have had my M8 for many years and am very happy with the quality and character of my photos. My only complaint is the viewfinder with a 50mm lens. I greatly prefer looking through

my M4. Would increasing the magnification help?

Thanks

It has taken me a while to get used to the M8 viewfinder. I don't use 50s with it very much, my 1957 M3 has an M4 viewfinder and yes there is a difference, but I adjust to the camera I am using. If it really bothers you a magnifiying lens would probably help, at the expense of the wider frames. I use a 25mm Canon and a 35 Leica or Zeiss most of the time. To be really wierd I just bought a 75 to use on the M8, that really takes getting used to.
