VIDEO

• Production era - 1932-1936
• Code names - VIDEO replaced in 1933 by VITRE
• Type - Small, torpedo shaped finder for 3.5, 5, 7.3 and 10.5 cm lenses
• Evolution - The VIDEO was all black; in 1933 the VITRE was introduced in black or chrome with tilting foot controlled by a lever and graduated drum for parallax compensation. The VITRE omitted the 7.3 cm frame lines. All of the early Leitz torpedo finders have reversed image viewing.
