Hello David,
Thank you for the information!
Does this magnifier, after some alterations, also fit Leica R8/9??
Have you any idea? Have you tried it?
Kind regards
Fred Hess

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:
http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/ProductDetail.page?pid=25339
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.
