SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES
The Leica M system provides a basis for optimum adaptation to fast and
unobtrusive photography. The range of lenses incorporates focal lengths
from 16 to 135mm and light intensities up to f/0.95.
FILTERS
UVa filters and a universal polarization filter M are available for current Leica
M lenses fitted with standard filter thread sizes.
Note:
Leica UV/IR filters specially developed for use on the Leica M8 and M8.2
should not be used on this camera as they can cause color shifts at the
edges of pictures, particularly when using wide angle lenses.
UNIVERSAL WIDE ANGLE VIEWFINDER M
The Leica universal wide-angle viewfinder M is a thoroughly practical
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
brightline 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)
MIRROR VIEWFINDER M
Mirror viewfinders are available for 18, 21, and 24mm lenses. They feature
an exceptionally compact design and a bright viewfinder image. Brightline
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).
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 magnifier gives the 0.68x viewfinder on this
camera a magnification of 0.85x, while the 1.4x gives 0.95x 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 camera’s carrying strap,
where it is protected and ready for use.
(Order no. 12 004 M 1.25x, 12 006 M 1.4x)
CORRECTIVE LENSES
For optimum adaptation of the eye to the camera’s viewfinder, we offer
corrective lenses with the following positive or negative diopter values
(spherical): ±0.5/1/1.5/2/3.
