A simple means for eye-level viewing, the black 10mm Metal Optical Viewfinder from Voigtlander is an auxiliary shoe-mounted finder used to approximate your field of view when shooting with a 10mm focal length lens in the 35mm film/full-frame format. The 0.32x-magnification viewfinder uses a reverse Galileo Albada design, and its brightlines are meant to represent the appropriate field of view when focused at infinity. Its construction features five elements for high optical clarity and has a -0.6 diopter for comfortable viewing.

Voigtlander DA455A Reviews
Like It. Love It. But still had to return it.
I own two Voigtlander M-mount lenses that I use with a Leica M-mount body and a Sony E-mount adapter made by Voigtlander. Love the lenses and the adapter. One of the lenses is a 10mm lens...so I purchased this 10mm metal optical viewfinder. The build quality is excellent. Unfortunately, I wear glasses and when I put my right eye behind the viewfinder......I could not see the reflective outline inside the viewfinder unless I move my eye up, down or sideways....and when I did....I could see the outline, but was unable to compose a photo using it. Sigh. Only when I removed my glasses could I see the composition aide. This might not be a problem for other people. I wear glasses all the time and it was for me. Darn.
Crystal clear & bright
This is absolutely a must-have if you shoot with a rangefinder camera, such as the Zeiss Ikon ZM's, and Leica M's. It gives you pretty much the same field of view & perspective of the Voigtlander 10mm f/5.6 ultra wide-heliar lens. It's amazingly bright and crystal clear.
