Fontenelle archives 78 : KINSU

[Pecole]

OK, this is not a Leica accessory...but it is a VIDOM's twin brother, and when I encountered one, I felt forced to add it to the Fontenelle Collection.

The KINSU was available from 1934 E. Leitz New York brochure 7409, June 1934), and was a cine version of the VIDOM. At first sight, the only difference from its "brother" (or father ?) is the trumpet-like eyecup. But it also had an adjustable framing and parallax correction for lenses of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.5, 7.5, 10 and 15 cm focal length.
