I'm looking for a leica 1.25 viewfinder magifyer for my Leica M's
If anyone knows where I can get a used one of something that will work
in my viewfinder. The eyes are not what they once were.
Thank you in advance.
Walter

They occasionally come up on eBay at about $200 - $225, so keep
watching!

There is a good Japanese-made option but it cannot be sold in the USA,
I heard this was for copyright reasons. There are some cheap Chinese
versions but you get what you pay for.

All of these magnifiers give a magnified view of only part of the
viewfinder. If you use a 28mm lens you will find that quite a lot of
the field of view cannot be seen through the magnifier.
