I don't think the extender does any magnification. In fact, it
reduces the magnification. On a full frame camera that is no big
deal. On a crop format camera it is. It is hard enough to see the
viewfinder as is, but by reducing it even further, I would think it
would make it much harder to focus. My friend with the 5Dm2 has
one. It lets him see the full frame with his glasses. As I stated
previously, when he tried my Nikon magnifier, he could not see the
full frame with his glasses. I did not try his extender on my Rebel.

Look around on Google. The purpose is for eyeglass users to see the
whole viewfinder. It reduces the image by 30%, so if you are
looking for a focusing aid, this is not what you want.
I agree with Aram. The Canon unit is for helping eyeglass users see
the entire frame. The Nikon unit is a magnifier, to aid in critical
focusing.
With the Nikon magnifier, I could not see the entire R8 frame while
wearing my glasses, but could see it all, just fine, without 'em I
adjusted the diopter control, and focusing was perfect, without
glasses and I could see the entire frame, to boot!
If you want to improve manual focus with your Leica Glass, try the
Nikon DK-21M... not a big loss, if it doesn't work for you ... and a
heckuva bargain if it does!
Cheers!
