Advertisement Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Hi Guest Olof, Take a look here Leica Universal Wide-angle Viewfinder M. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest guy_mancuso Posted October 6, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 6, 2007 From leica website The LEICA UNIVERSAL WIDE-ANGLE VIEWFINDER M enables precise cropping of the subject with the LEICA TRI-ELMAR-M 16-18-21 mm f/4 ASPH. on the LEICA M7 and MP as well as the digital LEICA M8. For the LEICA M8, the focal length extension factor of 1.33x has to be considered, so in this case the bright-line frames for 21, 24 or 28 mm are set on the LEICA UNIVERSAL WIDE-ANGLE VIEWFINDER M. A parallax compensation dial enables adjustment of the frame to the focusing distance in five steps. Thanks to one aspherical lens element and one with achromatic correction, the LEICA UNIVERSAL WIDE-ANGLE VIEWFINDER M is insensitive to stray light and features high resolution and exceptional brilliance. An illuminated spirit level helps to keep the camera horizontal even in unfavorable light conditions. The eyepiece has a screw mount for optionally available diopter correction lenses. (The LEICA UNIVERSAL WIDE-ANGLE VIEWFINDER M will be available in December 2006.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laki Posted October 6, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 6, 2007 it has framelines for 16,18,21,24 and 28mm, all applies to focal length of lenses on film m-cameras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted October 6, 2007 Share #4 Posted October 6, 2007 It supports the 24mm lens when used on a film (full frame) M camera and the dial is set to err... 24. It does not support the 24mm lens when used on an M8 because the lens then has an effective field of view of 32mm and is supported "native" by the M8's own finder.
