It's tiny, and screws into the eyepiece of your M's viewfinder beautifully. A wonderful thing. Sorry, don't have a photo. If thinking of buying one, remember that your M6 viewfinder has a built in -0.5 dioptre correction. My eyes need -2.5 corection, so I bought a -2.0 correction lens. Rick (I can see clearly now...)
