[Leica] Viewfinder problem

[John McMaster]

I think the M9 needs to be able to have your eyes focus at 1m? I have
perfect vision but my S2 is to -1 dioptre for focus...

It is obviously my right eye because when I put my eye closer to the
viewfinder then I can see more of the surrounding area. To answer another
question, the frame lines do not look sharp which again suggests that it is
my eye sight which I know is gradually getting worse. I guess at some stage
I will have to get a correction lens. The rangefinder window is sharp,
probably better than the rest but a little hard to tell.

As for glasses, I wear them for reading and watching TV, but I am aware that
my distance vision is gradually getting worse.

I generally close the left eye when shooting.

Thanks for the efforts to help - do they sell new eyeballs?
