Does anyone use viewfinder magnifiers?

Bro, Leica is about $500 and currently no stock. Match Techincal (Tim Issac) @Chiif only $220. Half the price. Of course, Leica one prettier cos' it's just an extended VF on your Leica and retains the same look. For Match Techinical, you can actually remove the rubber cup but there's no rubber ring on the magnifier so it might scratch for those with glasses.

I had to let go my Luigi case cos' the cup gets in the way. Currently using the A&A M9 ltd ed black case with the straps. Find that I like the A&A one but better but it has less leather covering compared to Luigi, so may face problem scratching the back next time. Getting a thumbsup from Chi Fei today too since I lost the grip with the Luigi.

It's a different look but one that you can get used to. Well, it's CNY and my M8 deserves a new clothing (new case) and new jewellery (magnifier). Hahaa!!

Btw, I have it permanently on my M8 now. Using 50s mostly but the Nikkor 85mm focuses better too on my M8. 90mm is the furtherest I will go on a M8.

I tried the magnifier on my 0.72 M6 but I am unable to see the 50s frameline clearly due to my glasses.

Just to give you an idea how it looks on the M8. From Match Technical website.

Wow, good to have all the bells and whistles. Nice !:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thumbs up for the Leica Magnifier x1.4! After I start to use it, simply love it and it's never remove from my M8 no matter what lens I use.. Same as gommy, I'm never fussy with the frame-line. In fact my 2 pieces of Japanese lens, a 85m, a 43mm, couldn't find a correct frame-line adapter. hehehe..

just received my contax IIIa recently, and am wondering if there are any add-on magnifiers there which would fit over the viewfinder?..
