More Leica-Leitz stuff. This well-preserved brochure is from March 1949.
The finder was useful from 35mm to 135mm – a must once you started using lenses above 50mm.
The Leica catalog code is ‘VIOOH’ and the catalog number is 66,006a.
The finder was quite expensive for 1949 at $77 plus tax. I believe this brochure is dated 3/49 if I interpret the code correctly.
A somewhat similar viewfinder from Japan ca. 1952 from an unknown maker. This one is dedicated to using 13.5cm lenses.
