 Some years back, a Los Angeles man, Lee Beeder made an inexpensive
 screw in adapter for the "M"s that allowed the then $12 Nikon diopters to
 be used instead of the hard to locate expensive Leitz diopters.  I remember
 that I needed a -1 instead of my normal -2 as I was told that the Leica came
 with a built in either -.05 or -1.
  
 Beeder only made these as a part time job & he was also a Tachihara Distrb.
 Does anyone have more information about him or his diopters?
