I went to my local hardware store and in the key making department found some round plastic colored key identifiers - I don't know what they are actually called - that fit over the heads of keys so you can tell them apart by color. They are available in a wide range of colors....yellow, hot pink, black and so on. They fit over the end of my Hong Kong 1.25x magnifier and do a pretty good job of protecting my eyeglasses. Naturally of course I had the Leica version but sold it several years ago since I didn't use it much on my M6 or M7. Now that I have an M8 I wish I had it back, but at current prices the HK version will do just fine.... ....except that it is not threaded so as to be able to use it with my +.5 diopter correction eyepiece. And it does not have the tether so I am afraid I will lose it. Other than that it works great. --Bob
