UNIVERSAL WIDE ANgLE VIEWFINDER M
The Leica universal wide-angle viewfinder M is a thoroughly practical
accessory. It can be used without restriction on all analog and digital
Leica M models and – just like the viewfinder in the camera – uses a
reflected bright-line frame to outline the picture area for wide angle
focal lengths 16, 18, 21, 24 and 28mm.
The viewfinder is equipped with parallax compensation and a vial
(spirit level) for exact leveling of the camera.
(Order no. 12 011)
BRIghT LINE FINDER M
Mirror viewfinders are available for 18, 21, and 24mm lenses. They
feature an exceptionally compact design and a bright viewfinder
image. Bright line frames like those in the camera viewfinder are used
to select the trimming
(order no. 18mm: 12 022 black, 12 023 silver / 21mm: 12 024
black, 12 025 silver / 24mm: 12 026 black / 12 027 silver).
VIEWFINDER MAgNIFIERS M 1.25x AND M 1.4x
The Leica M 1.25x and M 1.4x viewfinder magnifiers significantly
simplify picture composition when using focal lengths above 35mm.
They can be used on all Leica M models and magnify the central area
of the viewfinder image. The 1.25x viewfinder magnifier gives the
0.68x viewfinder on the Leica M a magnification of 0.85x, while the
1.4x gives 0.95x magnification.
A security chain with snap fasteners prevents loss and can be used to
hang the viewfinder on the carrying strap's fastening ring.
The viewfinder magnifiers are supplied in a leather bag. A loop on the
bag allows the viewfinder magnifier to be stored on the camera's
carrying strap, where it is protected and ready for use.
