I don't have the M8 but it may be the same setup as the film M's. The 1.25 magnifier or any corrective eyepieces are meant to thread into the existing FIXED eyepiece. Check if there is an inner thread visible in the existing eyepiece? Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] How do I screw in a magnifier Hi all, I am back on the list after lurking during a hectic summer (all good stuff, but busy). I have purchased an eyepiece magnifier for my M8 - and I cannot unscrew the current eyepiece while exerting reasonable force. What am I missing - I am scared of taking a pair of pliers to the eyepiece because I may cause permanent damage - and I really do like the M8. -- Clive http://clive.moss.net/blog/ _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
