This shoe-mounted viewfinder allows for comfortable viewing when using the 25mm ZM lens on the Zeiss Ikon camera. It also features framelines for a 28mm lens.
The Zeiss Ikon camera viewfinder is designed to be used with lenses of focal lengths 28mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm. When using shorter focal length lenses a dedicated viewfinder for framing has to be attached to the accessory shoe on top of the camera. Focusing of the lens is to be made by using the camera range finder.

Comments about Zeiss Viewfinder ZI for 25mm ZM Lens:
Everything about the Zeiss Ikon rangefinder system compares favorably with the Leica M film system and this viewfinder is no exception. The clarity of view is amazing. I just wish it had a shoe-mount lock - I'm always worried about it coming loose while carrying it. So far it has not worked loose but it is something you have to keep in mind. I also wish it had some way of choosing which frameline you wanted to see rather than having both visible all the time - They are close together, the 25mm is a complete frameline and the 28mm is a partial frameline just marking the corners. Both are easy to see (without glasses) and use.

Comments about Zeiss Viewfinder ZI for 25mm ZM Lens:
I use this with my M9. It has very low distortion and is bright and contrasty. It also has very good flare resistance when the camera is pointed into a light source.
I use this with a 24mm Elmarit. The viewfinder will still show less than the total image captured with the lens - this is typical of external finders.
I found this product to be the best tradeoff between the voightlander and Leitz comparable models.
