I for one am grateful for this heads-up on correction lenses.
Unfortunately, I've had to exhume a -2.00 correction lens from the
Leica accumulation to use on the M6 because the spectacles imposed by
presbyopia would not allow a full view of the 35mm frame. Because I
bought the accessory 6 to 8 years ago, I did not have any idea as to
current prices.
