Subject: [Leica] Leica Loupe diopter adjustment discovery

I don't have a light-box and have always held my Leica loupe up to the 
window to see inserted slides.  Or up to the overhead light - not good 
for the neck.  I've always been bothered by the lack of diopter 
adjustment, insufficient to correct for my -2.25 prescription eyesight. 
  Hence the need to wear specs while viewing.

Well, I just discovered that if one removes the slide and film strip 
holder, to use the loupe in lightbox mode, there's heaps more diopter 
adjustment available, probably enough for a -3 prescription.  Certainly 
enough for myopic me without glasses.  Excellent.  Now I do need a 
light-box.  Bewdy!
