Eye relief is a complex thing, and can be affected by many factors. So for reference, with *my* glasses, I can see the 50mm lines fine on my .72x M4-P, losing a little nick out of the corners on one side without shifting my eye slightly. With the 35mm frame, I lose about 1/6 of either the right or the left edge. I can't quite see the entire 50mm frame on an M3. Also, to amplify on B.D.'s question, does the magnifier affect the issue where one side or other of the 90mm frame tends to disappear unless your eye is exactly on the sweet spot? Finally, is there any appreciable dimming of the finder with the magnifier? And how do you take off the eyepiece cover to put the thing on and off? - --Peter Klein Seattle, WA Photovilla@aol.com wrote: >"I received my first shipment of the 1.25x magnifier today and I did >take one out to look it over as well." > >Got mine today (an unexpected gift).
