Leitz 3.5cm viewfinder

External brightline viewfinder

Leica SBLOO brightline finder with original leitz red box. Leica 35mm brightline finder mounted on a IIIg.

Leica screw mount cameras (LTM) such as the Model IIIg lacked wide angle viewfinders for lens such as 35mm, so external viewfinders like the WEISU (early 1930's) or the SBLOO were required for framing.

The SBLOO is an exceptionally large and bright viewfinder even surpassing the 100% viewfinders in todays professional cameras for clarity.
