I have the WA version of the Hong Kong "magnifier". It is a waste of money.
It does nothing. ( I think it is rated at x.85)
The 1.25 magnifier ( I have the Leica model, but there should be no
difference) is a real help with longer lenses ( 135) . It does darken the
total image as well as make the outer frame lines impossible to see,
especially with glasses.
Yes, this was all brought up in the past....
