Could anyone please tell me what the focal length of this is please, I believe it was for the llla.

Well-known
I "think" it is a 50mm finder for close focus/macro work and orginally came with a chain, a la the Minox spy cameras, that measured predetermined focus lengths for copying documents.
Hopefully someone else with more knowledge will drop in and reveal all...
EDIT: Just found the finder I was thinking of and it is a 424.
The measuring chain on the 424 attaches to the hole mount underneath the front of the finder... is it possible that 421 was another variant of the same finder... perhaps just minus the chain?
Here is a rough overview of Zeiss Ikon finders in the 42X range;
420 is a stereo finder for Stereotar C
421 ...?
422 30mm finder for Contina
423 75mm finder for Contina
424 50mm finder for Contax for close focus/macro
425 ...?
426 bright line finder with 30/75mm and stereo for Contina
427 bright line finder with 35/50/85/135mm for Contax
Perhaps you could post some pics of this 421 finder???
