[Leica] The incredible anti-scratch diopter guard

[Peter Klein]

In light of George's thread about why we joined the LUG, here is an example of the lengths to which some of us will go to keep shooting Leica.

Regulars here will recall that I've had some vision issues over the last couple of years. Most are straightened out now. But until the doctors got things right, my vision and my glasses changed frequently.  This made shooting with an RF difficult. So most of the pictures I've posted have been taken with micro 4/3 cameras.

I now require a +0.5 diopter correction lens for the Leica eyepiece. The problem is, it's metal, so it can scratch my glasses. So today, I did this:
