My neighbour and good friend happens to import Pentax so within a week I had the diopter, in the meantime I had also bought another M3 (I own an M4-P). Great was my disappointment, already at eyesight their was no match. The piece that Royfel described with part# (infact I gave the Pentax people a copy of his email) did not fit at all. unless the M6 has a different diopter than the M3 and M4-P, we have a big joker in our club! All the bext from Tuscany Andreas ps. how come that I'm the first one to find out, would it be considered a herecy to put a Pentax diopter on a Leica, or Policially Incorrect?
