Leitz Visoflex I – Reflex Housing for Leica M39 Rangefinder Cameras

Leitz Visoflex I – Reflex Housing for Leica M39 Rangefinder Cameras
The Leitz Visoflex Type I is a classic reflex housing system designed by Ernst Leitz GmbH Wetzlar to convert your Leica screw mount (M39/LTM) rangefinder into a single-lens reflex camera. Introduced in the 1950s, the Visoflex I allows the use of telephoto, macro, and close-up lenses that require through-the-lens viewing and precise focusing, which would otherwise be impossible on a rangefinder body.

With its solid mechanical construction and mirror system, this accessory expands the capabilities of Leica cameras like the Leica III series and Leica IIIf, turning them into versatile tools for studio, portrait, or technical photography.
