Overall, it works great for me ( M8 or M6) ..... I focus more accurately with it..... You can use it on any lens, but keep in mind the VF window view is also cut back... so sometimes you may miss the correct frame lines....

Folks, I know some on the list have used the 1.4x magnifier. I think I recall seeing a post somewhere by Hoppy about it. Have any of you used it with longer lenses (75 or 90), and if so, what's your opinion? I want to be able to use my T-E 90 on my M9, but it's really fiddly on the focus. So, I'm considering the "new" CV 75/1.8 as an alternative to the 90. Thoughts, opinions, experience?
