Hello:
Some time ago I posted a message about a +1 diopter for the RF645. At that time I thought I would be able to get one from Bronica/Tamron. I did order the +1 diopter from them, but it did not work as it is supposed to. Not sure what the correction was, but is was not a +1; they took it back and refunded my money without problem. I then checked the size of the +1 diopter I had on my Mamiya 7 and saw that it was nearly the same size; a little longer and a little narrower. I ordered another one from B and H poped it out of its plastic holder and slid it into place. With the eyecup in place the diopter stays just fine. If you cut a little off the bottom it will fit even better. In any case, it is a solution to the problem and a cheaper one. The Bronica diopter wasf $54 the Mamiya diopter was $19.
Hope someone else finds this useful.
