A 1.25 eyepiece magnifier. Perfect timing as i was going to go out today and try to score one at CameraWorld. I hadn't anticipated it turning my viewfinder/ rangefinder into 1:1 like an M3. Keep both eyes open and you can see the image about the same. Both my bodies are .72 and I've been planing on getting a .58 early this year. My 50 frameline no longer looks like a telephoto lens is being used. It fills the finder optimally like the 35mm frame did. And the 90 and 135 frames both poplar with me are now greatly enlarged. We've had so many threads on the lug about how we wish Leica would listen to us on these needs. A 1:1 finder highly desired and right up at the top of the heap of desires wants and needs. I do many shoots with a 90 on each of my two bodies. A current Elmarit on one and an apo Asph Summicron on the other. Ideally i thought I'd have someday .85 cameras for such shoots. Leica just saved my about 4 grand USD. But i may have to shell out another $225 to get another finder for my other body. Yep. Gotta have my matched set or i may go cross eyed.
