There is a lot more to this than a theoretical number. I am not suggesting that they manufacture a correction eyepiece for the camera. I would think that very very few would actually be able to supply in any case. Maybe a high end service? In addition there are some eye conditions that cannot be fully corrected by any spherical eyepiece and you cannot determine what will work well over for example extended shooting time without good qualified advice. If you can find a Leica store that actually had the range of diopters in stock then you would be very fortunate. I have never been in a store that had them on hand. In my experience specific ones may need to be ordered in. cheers Geoff > On 30 Oct 2013, at 12:39, "Frank Filippone" <red735i at verizon.net> wrote: > > Geoff and Tina...
