| This Leica X1 Brightline Finder is a viewfinder
for the 36mm equivalent lens of the Leica X1 compact digital
camera. The camera does not have a built in viewfinder
so this is the perfect accessory for using your camera
in bright sunlight. This is a passive finder, so no camera
data is viewed if the LCD screen is turned off.
The finder provides a remarkably vibrant, high-contrast
image. Due to a concave mirror in the optics, part of
the incoming light is used to illuminate the picture
outline as a bright frame. This is the same as in viewfinders
of Leica M cameras.
The optics are given a high-quality multi-layer coating
to guarantee optimum viewing through the finder in all
conditions. The high-quality metal body of the finder
is designed in the popular retro look of the fifties
and sixties, but is milled from solid brass according
to the latest technologies. The eyepiece side is rubberized
to protect eyeglasses.
