Leica Visoflex III (16457) - Accessory

Leica Visoflex III (16457) - Accessory

Accessory reflex housing unit made for M-mount rangefinder cameras by Leica. It adds a mirror box between the camera and lens, effectively making a Leica M body an SLR camera. It works only with special lenses made with the extended flange distance in mind. This third version reduced the optical thickness for better performance with long telephotos and added compatibility with the M5. It does not include the prism housing needed for TTL viewing. Metal body available in black and silver.

  • Size: 88 x 82 x 48mm (excluding arm, w/o finder)
  • Weight: 262g (housing only)

Leica M

Leica’s M mount was introduced in 1953 alongside its first camera, the M3. Despite the rise of the SLR, Leica cameras have continued to succeed as their unique combination of build quality, speed, and discretion sets them apart from competition. The M bayonet mount, and the cameras introduced alongside it, offered (& continue to offer) a number of advantages over SLRs and other rangefinder cameras.

One big advantage is automatic framelines, which react to the lens on the camera to show accurate framelines in the viewfinder. This is even possible with older Leica Thread Mount (LTM) lenses if the correct adapter is used.

Other manufacturers, such as Cosina Voigtländer, Carl Zeiss, Konica, and Minolta, have also produced rangefinder cameras using Leica M mount.
