The screw in eyepieces took that into account and one marked "0" would actually be +1 on its own. That is the combined effect of the finder and eyepiece is 0 diopter. But then it's been a while. Still some refernces on this stuff in the family, I can check. Cosina also makes compatible correction lenses (for the Voigtlander RF cameras) and you may find those easier to source? Try Gandy or KEH or just the Bay for something used. At least they are cheaper than the Leica ones which are priced as though they are machined from the Hope diamond or something.
