Does anyone know of a suitable magnifier for any of the Fed/Zorki rangefinders? I don't think I've ever heard of an "official" one being made by FED/KMZ and the like, but the Fed 5 viewfinder seems to have an internal thread of some kind, which made me wonder.

Or maybe one of the ones designed for the Leica M series can be made to fit? I don't have the money to buy an M3 to compare the two myself, unfortunately. :mad:
 
I want to know too!

Yes!!

This! :D

Please let me know if you find out, cause I'd love to know if there are.

Best,

There is a recent post on this forum about someone who had an adapter made for his Contax 11a to take a leica diopter or magnifier. It would be simple machining - a small tube with the Fed thread at one end and the leica one at the other. No optics needed internally.
