Has anyone come up with a way to magnify the image in the viewfinder yet? I am having a hard time with the standard eyepiece and my eye prescription. I have ordered the neutral diopter but it is still on back order.
I tried my Leica 1.25 Magnifier but it does not fit. Has anyone found anything that works?

I believe the eyepiece is the same as the Nikon FM2, so a Nikon Magnifier may work if there is a screw in type. I'm using a Nikon Diopter on my ZI. Only reason I'm not real sure about which Nikon that it was from as I have dipoters from quite a few Nikon Models, but don't have the cameras anymore, so can't check and it's not marked. Same one worked on the Epson RD-1. Hope this gives you some help.

Go to the megaperls japan site - they have a 1.35x magnifier which is very clear and has considerable diopter adjustment leeway. The drawbacks are:
-it makes your wider frames disappear ( I can just see the 35mm frames without glasses and just see the 50mm frames with thin glasses on)
- the correction is not progressive, so you have to decide which range you want dead sharp
- the outer brim is not rubberized, so beware of using soft glasses with it
For normal diopters, use the Nikon ones - they are cheap and easy to find.

I guess Nikon F3HP correction lens will fit. I'm using one on mine ZI

Ohh Wow....I'm sure the Nikon F3HP would be a good solution for the diopter, but what about increasing the magnification?
Mfogielwent to the Megapearls web site, but the device you mention is for Nikon's--D70, D2x and the likes?
Does that one work or is there another one for the ZI?

Get this one and "order" it for your Nikon to avoid the patent nonsense.
