Flea Market FODIS help...

[serrada36]

Hi all,

I picked this up today at a flea market and don't know much about it. It's condition appears to be near mint (but I'm obviously not expert). I think it is a FODIS. I apologize for my ignorance if I am completely off base with any of this stuff. I looked through the viewfinder and it is very bright. It seems to be very accurate according to my measuring tape. There is no serial number. I'm not sure what camera it is for, rarity, value or anything else. Any info about it would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Brian

There's some information in this Pdf http://www.cameramanuals.org/leica_pdf/leica_accessory_guide.pdf

For any Leica (or other camera) without a RF. Worth a few scores (i.e. not hundreds) of pounds, dollars or euros, as far as I know.

Cheers,

R.

This type of accessory rangfinder used to be reasonably common (although the Leica ones less so). I have a Voigtlander one from the 1950s designed to be used with some of their cameras that did not have a built in rangfinder. They work quite well.
