M4-2 @35mm @eyeglasses

[der.chris.tian]

Hi,

I own a M4-2 with a 35mm lens, but as I wear eyeglasses I don't see the 35mm frame correctly. I've recognized there is a magnifier available, which have a negative value: 0,85x. It is sold on ebay here.


Did anyone make experiences with it?


Or maybe there is another possibilty for eyeglass wearers to see the full frame (except of a correction lens to shoot without eyeglasses)...

If you are referring to the HK Supplies lenses, I can say that the 1.25x magnifier definitely works. No experience with the 0.85x.

I bought both, the 1.25x works OK, the 0.85x does not give any increase in eye relief for eye glass wearers. It just moves your eye further from the camera and distorts the frame lines, smaller but no better eye relief. Mine sits unused in my bag.
