Leica’s classic external 35mm finder, SBLOO. This particular piece is an early version with the hexagonal Leitz logo, released in 1951.
A masterpiece among Leitz finders, offering a brilliantly clear view.
Not only ideal for Barnack Leicas or the M3, which lack a built-in 35mm frame, but also a joy to mount even on models that do—just attaching it instantly lifts your spirits.
A brilliant accessory perfect for street photography and more, this legendary Leica finder is consistently one of the most popular items in our shop.

There is barely any sign of use, apart from a faint scuff on the bottom of the body. Upon close inspection, no trace was found of it ever being mounted on a camera. The SBLOO appears as if it has time-traveled straight from the past to the present.

It is far too pristine for practical use and would be best enjoyed as a collector’s item.

The original box from the good old days shows some signs of wear.

A truly rare condition.
