• Manufacturer's description - Especially when shooting close to the ground with the LEICA 90mm f/4 Macro-Elmar-M, 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.
