I know Cosina(voigtlander) makes a lot of lenses for zeiss but do they double brand? Or is is photoshop?

As for the camera, looks more like a zorki than a Leica to me..

if you read more carefully you'll notice it says FOR and not BY 😉
also, the selle says that those are self-made finders.

i have one of these, it's a somewhat fisheye vf that he paints the rectangular mask to show the desired field of view. pretty light finder, a bit of tunnel vision but works alright. not as distortion free as bright as a voigtlander/zeiss/leica finder.

Either photoshop or something stuck on by the seller. The lens itself looks like a screw-mount 15mm Super-Wide-Heliar.

The ad is indead for the viewfinder i was looking for one, but the picture of the lens just left me puzzled

Nice idea and the price is right. With a lens as wide as the 12mm, precise framing is not critical - and and after a while you would learn what coverage the finder has ad compensate for it. Truly multicultural set up, russian camera, japanees lens and dutch finder!

I agree. It is a good idea and the product is very useful for anyone who needs a finder for 12mm.

It's Photoshop. I contacted the seller a couple months ago about his Zorki-Leica. He's quite interested in the possibility of actually building hybrids like this, but it would be a great deal of work.
