 p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · Viewfinder Magnifier for Leica M-10 series cameras | |
You might get more replies if you cross-post this on the Leica & Alternative board.
I have the Leica 1.4x somewhere but rarely use it. It's a hassle to put on and remove if you change lenses frequently and if some of those bring up frame lines that will be cropped out by the magnifier.
From what I remember, 90mm frame lines will be fine, as expected. I think 50 is still usable.
If you're having trough hitting focus with those lenses, and they're both correctly calibrated for your camera's rangefinder, I'd first recommend buying the appropriate viewfinder diopter correction lens before investing in a magnifier, if you haven't already done so.
My experience was that even though I only needed a weak correction amount, it made the rangefinder patch much easier to see clearly, which made focusing lenses like the 50 easier. The 90 will always be tricky, IMO. With a wedding, you might not have a lot of time to fiddle around trying to get perfect focus. I'd recommend practicing a lot with both lenses, maybe walking around the house quickly focusing on things to see how well you do.
If you have a secondary DSLR or mirrorless system with a portrait lens, considering bringing it along as a back up in case it gets too frustrating with the M. You could keep working with 50mm and wider lenses on the M and let AF be your friend when doing telephoto work.
