Well, my Leica -2 diopter arrived today. I bought it used from a PN member. One of those you open the box and am very disappointed by the size to price ratio. New these thingys run $80, and it is smaller than the tip of a finger. Just a threaded washer with a little correction lens in it. I am so glad I bought it used. And after all, it is a Leica I guess I shouldn't expect much.
I still have a -2 diopter for a Bessa, R or R2 if anyone is interested. Don't worry, I won't ask even 1/10th of what a Leica diopter cost for it, and I promise it will work just as well.

Relax, tell yourself the diopter is made of "rare earth glass"

No, better don't. Otherwise you won't feel very well placing your eye and brain just a few millimeters from that thing
But yes I know about prices, I still remember the face of my buddy when I bought a $50 Voigtlander LTM/M ring.

My M5s need red dots!
rover, it's a Leica piece. Think about it... Repeat the mantra: it's a Leica thing...
Yeah, but I do Hasselblad too Francisco. I need two more jobs if I am going to keep up both systems.

From the roll of tri-x I processed the other night, taken with my "new" collapisble summicron.
I have one with his eyes open too, but I am pretty sleepy tonight.

Is that the New Millenium Rover, Ralph?
Well... these are the moments when I feel lucky about being a closeted Nikonian. No Hassy for me yet!

30 years ago I had a diesel land rover named rover, a dog named spotmatic and a camera named zeiss.
