SYSTEM ACCESSORIES FOR THE LEICA M
MONOCHROM
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 1:0.95.
FILTERS
UVa filters and a universal polarization filters are
available for current Leica M lenses fitted with standard
filter threads.
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
shows – just like the viewfinder in the camera – with
a reflected bright line frame 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 horizontal alignment of
the camera (order no. 12 011).
VIEWFINDER FOR 21/24/28MM
The Leica viewfinder for 21/24/28mm lenses can
be used on all Leica M models and, thanks to its
adjustable optical system, shows the trimming for
the most popular wide angle focal lengths of 21mm,
24mm, and 28mm. The sophisticated optical design
ensures an excellent reproduction quality equivalent
to the viewfinder on the Leica M. Combined with
the interpupillary distance of 15mm, suitable for
users wearing glasses, the magnification allows good
identification detail and convenient viewing of the entire
image field (order no. 12 013).
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).
VIEWFINDER MAGNIFIER 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 the Leica M Monochrom 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 bag 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).
