A high-resolution Visoflex EVF2 electronic viewfinder that slots into the hot shoe of the new Leica M camera is available as an optional accessory. The Leica EVF2 has a resolution of 1.4 megapixels and a 90? swivel action for capturing images from unusual angles. When mounted on the camera, it displays all significant exposure parameters and allows precise control of composition, particularly in very bright light. In combination with the R-Adapter M, R-Lenses and the viewfinder, the Leica M can be used independently from its monitor in the same way as an SLR camera.

Especially when shooting close to the ground with the LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90 mm f/4, the LEICA anglefinder M provides for relaxed picture taking with no neck strain, and is generally useful in situations where you do not wish to - or are unable to - hold the camera directly in front of your eyes. The LEICA ANGLEFINDER M is screwed onto the ocular of the Leica M by means of a thumbscrew, can be turned freely, and allows the subject to be viewed at a 45-degree angle. The roughly 8.7 mm diameter central circle of the viewfinder displayed by the LEICA ANGLEFINDER M also includes the light balance and exposure indicators in the viewfinder of. Whether the bright line viewfinder frame is displayed depends on the viewfinder magnification-see the following table:

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 VIEWFINDER MAGNIFIER M 1.25x magnifies the viewfinder image by one quarter, providing a major aid in framing the subject at focal lengths above 50 mm. By magnifying the rangefinder images, it also greatly enhances focusing accuracy, especially when shooting at telephoto focal lengths. In this way it turns a LEICA M with 0.72X viewfinder magnification into one with 0.9X magnification; the effective rangefinder base length is increased from 49.9 mm to 62.33 mm. The LEICA VIEWFINDER MAGNIFIER M 1.25x is simply screwed into the viewfinder ocular of the Leica M. A small chain attached to the Leica M's carrying strap eyelet prevents it from being lost or damaged. A leather pouch is supplied for safekeeping when it's not attached.

The Leica Viewfinder Magnifier M 1.24x magnifies the viewfinder image by two fifths. Providing a major aide in framing the subject at focal lengths above 75 mm. By magnifying the rangefinder images, it greatly enhances focusing accuracy, especially when shooting at telephoto focal lengths. The 1.4 x viewfinder magnifier turns into magnification of 1x (0.95x with M8 Models); this combination allows comfortable viewing of the subject with both eyes. The viewfinders are simply screwed into the viewfinder ocular of the Leica M. A small chain attached to the Leica M's carrying strap eyelet prevents it from being lost or damaged. A leather pouch is supplied for safekeeping when it's not attached.
