A horizontal viewing finder by Leitz, an improved version of the WINKO finder. It features a movable prism; by lowering the arm, the rangefinder image can be checked even when shooting in horizontal orientation. This example is the chrome version.
They appear on the market from time to time, suggesting it was a reasonably popular item in its day. Whether it sold for its practicality or simply for the enjoyment it offers is an intriguing question.
Ideal for those who want to shoot in vertical orientation and from low angles with a Barnack Leica. A quintessentially Leitz accessory that brings satisfaction simply by mounting it.
This item was previously sold at our shop and has now come back to us after being carefully used by the customer.
Just as when it was last sold, it remains in very clean cosmetic condition. There are slight signs of use with minor scuffing on the underside of the shoe and on the movable arm, but otherwise it shows no noticeable wear. The slightly shiny chrome finish still looks beautiful and bright.
The glass was cleaned by a professional technician at the end of 2025, and the view is clear. Comes with the original box.
