I'm having a grand old time in Japan, scooting about the country visiting used camera stores...... errr... I mean doing serious ethnographic research ....... today I came across some different type eyepiece magnifiers for M camera: 1.15 and 1.25 The 1.15 is designed to bring the 0.85x Leica up to 0.97, or pretty darn close to 1.0. I tried them both and the centers were nice and sharp, but the edges were distorted. They were priced around $150 each, I think. Other neat things were adaptors to convert pretty much every mount possible to your Leica-M and Leica-R cameras. Imagine a Nikon SLR lens on your M6! They have little cams in them that allow you to use the rangefinder in the M to get the focus distance, then you transfer the reading to the lens.
