The Leica SBLOO external 35mm viewfinder is a classic accessory, and this particular unit features the early model with the hexagonal Leitz logo, first released in 1951. Known for its exceptional optical quality, the SBLOO provides a bright and clear view, making it a joy to use.

This viewfinder is a perfect match for Barnack Leica models and the M3, which do not have a built-in 35mm frame. Even for Leica bodies with integrated frames, attaching the SBLOO enhances the experience and adds a sense of excitement to your shooting. It’s an excellent tool for street photography, offering precise framing and convenience for quick snaps. The SBLOO is a versatile and stylish accessory that elevates any Leica camera, both functionally and aesthetically.

There is a faint scratch near the hexagonal Leitz logo on the top and a few light marks on the bottom from attachment and detachment, but there are no prominent scratches or dents elsewhere, making the overall appearance clean and attractive.

The glass shows a very slight haze when held up to a strong LED light, but this has no impact on the optical performance. For those interested, I offer the option of glass cleaning for an additional fee. There are no noticeable cleaning marks or mold spots, and the view remains clear and bright.

The viewfinder remains one of Leica's iconic masterpieces, offering a brilliant viewing experience that enhances the shooting process.
