[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I would appreciate information about how to obtain prescription eyepieces for M6 and R4. My correction exceeds what is available "off the shelf". My distance diopter correction is +4 and near is "add 2.5". I understand that all I have to do is inform the optical lab that Leica puts -0.5 in the M eyepiece and -1.0 in the R. Does that make sense, and does anyone know of labs that can fashion the proper shape and size lenses that are required. A related question, if anyone has direct experience, is whether it is worth getting the rotating eyepiece for astigmatism correction, or is that feature more trouble than it is worth? Thanks for any help............Julian P.S. Forgive if multiple messages appear. I may have had message format problems.
