Leitz Wetzlar Leica Black Universal View Finder 3.5cm To 13.5cm VIOOH

The Leitz VIOOH Universal Viewfinder is a beautifully made external optical finder, designed by Leitz Wetzlar to work with classic Leica screw-mount (LTM / M39) cameras like the Leica IIIf, IIIc, or IIIa. Finished in sleek black enamel, this viewfinder covers focal lengths from 3.5cm to 13.5cm, making it an incredibly versatile tool for shooters using multiple lenses beyond the standard 50mm.

The VIOOH series is beloved by Leica users and collectors for its robust build and smooth focal length adjustment dial, allowing you to frame accurately with wide angles, normals, and telephotos alike. Whether you’re shooting a vintage Elmar 35mm, Summar 50mm, or Hektor 135mm, this finder will keep your compositions sharp and on point.

Cosmetically, this VIOOH finder is in excellent shape—clean black finish, bright engravings, and smooth adjustment dial. However, please note: the viewfinder has noticeable haze in the optics and will require cleaning or servicing to restore optimal clarity. As it stands, it’s usable for framing, but not perfectly clear. Priced accordingly.

Why You Want This Finder:
If you’re building out a classic Leica rangefinder kit, this is one of the most useful accessories you can have. Leica cameras with interchangeable lenses often lack framelines for non-standard focal lengths—this VIOOH solves that elegantly. The adjustable focal length selector lets you switch between lenses seamlessly without swapping finders, keeping your setup compact and efficient.

Additionally, this is a desirable black finish variant, which pairs beautifully with black-paint Leica bodies or as a stylish addition to your display case.

Collectors appreciate these not just for their function, but for their design: machined brass, precise clicks on the selector dial, and that iconic Leitz Wetzlar engraving.
