Dear members
I'm curious about this thing used for focusing? (Ed Bougad asked fot it???)
Hi Linda!
Ed did not ask for it. Aram suggested it, and I seconded the idea,
as I used one with my Canons.... after Aram suggested it to me and I
found it very helpful.
It is a magnifying eyepiece, made by Nikon. See:

It also fits the Canon eyepiece holders. See:

Why do you need it...?
You need it only if you are using a Canon camera, and are having
trouble focusing Manual Focus lenses (such as Leica -R lenses) on it.
Didn't know that existed??
Not many do. That's why they read this list!
What is it exactly?
See above.
Hope this helps.
