SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES
The Leica M system provides a basis for optimum adaptation to
fast and unobtrusive photography. The range of lenses incorpo-
rates focal lengths from 16 to 135mm and light intensities up to
1:0.95.
FILTERS
Various filter types and sizes are available for the current Leica M
lenses.
Note:
Leica UV/IR filters specially developed for use on the Leica M8
and M8.2 should not be used on the Leica M as they can cause
color shifts at the edges of pictures, particularly when using wide
angle lenses.
MIRROR VIEWFINDER 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).
UNIVERSAL WIDE ANGLE VIEWFINDER M
The Leica universal wide-angle viewfinder M is a thoroughly practi-
cal 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)
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 magni-
fier gives the 0.68 x viewfinder on this camera a magnification of
0.85 x, while the 1.4 x gives 0.95 x 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 case allows the viewfinder magnifier to be stored on the cam-
era’s carrying strap, where it is protected and ready for use.
(Order no. 12 004 M 1.25x, 12 006 M 1.4x)
