Big and ugly, but it works

The WATE finder is a beast, but it works for 16-28mm lenses you may mount on your rangefinder. There are two dials on the top that help you frame more accurately. The first is the focal length to set the frame lines for the proper angle of view. The second is a rough range distance to correct for parallax at closer focusing distances. An added, and helpful, bonus is a spirit bubble level to help keep the lens level when using extreme wide angle glass. While this finder is designed for the 16-21mm WATE, it also works with you 21 and 24mm lenses. Anything longer than that the camera should be able to frame for you. If you have one of the VC 11, 12, or 15mm's you are gun decking the framing or have to buy one of their specialized finders. One last negative is that you lose your hotshoe, but it doesn't impact my shooting, so I don't mind.

About Leica Universal Wide Angle Finder M for the TRI-ELMAR-M 16-18-21mm f/4.0

• The Leica Universal Wide-Angle Viewfinder M enables precise cropping of the subject with the LEICA TRI-ELMAR-M f/4/16-18-21 mm ASPH. on the LEICA M7 and MP as well as the digital LEICA M8. For the LEICA M8, the focal length extension factor of 1.33x has to be considered, so in this case the bright-line frames for 21, 24 or 28 mm are set on the LEICA UNIVERSAL WIDE-ANGLE VIEWFINDER M. A parallax compensation dial enables adjustment of the frame to the focusing distance in five steps.

Thanks to one aspherical lens element and one with achromatic correction, the LEICA UNIVERSAL WIDE-ANGLE VIEWFINDER M is insensitive to stray light and features high resolution and exceptional brilliance. An illuminated spirit level helps to keep the camera horizontal even in unfavorable light conditions. The eyepiece has a screw mount for optionally available diopter correction lenses.
