Viewfinder Magnifier M 1.25x
The LEICA Viewfinder Magnifier M 1.25x (Order
no. 12004) significantly simplifies picture compo-
sition when using focal lengths above 50 mm. It
can be used on all Leica M models and magnifies
the central area of the viewfinder image by a quar-
ter. A 0.58x* viewfinder becomes a 0.72x view-
finder, a 0.72x viewfinder becomes a 0.9x view-
finder and a 0.85x* viewfinder becomes a 1.06x
viewfinder, corresponding to a slight magnifica-
tion even compared to viewing with the naked eye.
* The alternative viewfinder magnifications are selectable within
the Leica á la carte program.
The latter combination therefore allows the sub-
ject to be viewed comfortably with both eyes. Par-
ticularly with the 75 to 135 mm telephoto lenses
in the Leica M system, the visibly larger viewfinder
image makes subject details easier to pick out in
the respective image field frame. At the same
time, the 25% magnification of the effective mete-
ring basis results in a corresponding increase in
the setting accuracy.
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 Magnifier M 1.25x is supplied in a
leather bag. A loop on the bag allows the View-
finder Magnifier M 1.25x to be stored on the cam-
era’s carrying strap, where it is protected and
ready for use.
