HK 1.25 magnifier came in today.....

Looks good. I ordered the black to go w/ my MP. Fit and finish seem fine, though not to Leica quality. The Leica is built more conveniently in a 2 piece fashion so the entire assembly does not have to be turned to screw into the camera's eyepiece. Optically, the magnifier seems just fine and doesn't seem to darken the image. Comes w/ a small leather case that attaches to your camera's strap. No chain to hold to the body as with the Leica. I look forward to being able to focus my 75 'lux a little easier. Good deal for $60.00. Any one have experience with the 1.33 magnifier out there? I know it's Japanese made as well. Just can't recall the manufacturer's name.

Just saw it on another thread.....Megaperl is the company's name

More expensive & patent laws prevent shipment to Germany or the U.S., so Jackson Loi can have one. I don't know about Steve. I'm thinking about one for my M2.

you can start an import/export business for magnifiers.....

I'll let someone with one or two centilitres of business sense do that.

If any Canadian RFFs want to get a Megaperls one, I'd love to piggy-back on the order. Trade for cigarettes?🙂

Thanks for the link, Grainhound. They even have a wide-angle (de)magnifier too... sweet.




Not a bad idea. 😀 😀 😀

"de-magnifier". I've read some nasty things about it.

Four HongKong magnifiers cost as much as one Leitz magnifier and two HongKong magnifiers cost as much as one Megapearl magnifier.

$60 vs. $125 vs.$250.

Is this just a coincidence?
