Equipment: 1 Hasselblad -> Leica R adapter 1 small neoprene Zing bag 1 Russian made "Horizon" 4x loupe. 2 zip ties I slit open the seems of a neoprene Zing bag and cut the bag in half. I stretched the neoprene material over the front of the adapter and used two zip ties around the body of the adpater to secure it. I made a "X" cut into the middle of the neoprene material (smaller than the body of the loupe) Finally, I inserted the loupe, eyepiece first, into the cut. Took about ten minutes. Focus is from infinity to..well.. really close up. The neoprene gives the perfect flexibilty and resistance to rapidly 'bellow' focus.
