The Leica M Compendium, page 177 list diopter for M cameras 1977-1987, and diopters for 1987 onwards. Two separate lists. Your part number, 14351, is a +1 diopter for M cameras 1987 and onward. 1977-1987 require part number 14362.<br> <br> There is a misprint in the M compendium page 177. It lists 14352 instead of 14351 for the +1 diopter.<br> <br> Jim<br> <br> <br> At 01:46 PM 12/27/98 -0800, you wrote: <br> <blockquote type=3Dcite cite>Sorry Andreas, I didn't answer because I don't have an answer.
