ZEISS ZI Viewfinder for 25/28mm Lens
Key Features
  • For ZEISS Ikon Rangefinder Camera
  • Optical Viewfinder for 25/28mm Lenses
  • Mounts via Camera's Hot Shoe
When using wide-angle lenses on the Ikon rangefinder camera, users may want to pick up a ZI Viewfinder from ZEISS in order to ensure accurate framing. This optical finder is designed to demonstrate the perspective of 25/28mm lenses, which provide a wider angle of view than the Ikon's integrated rangefinder. Photographers can use this to check framing while the rangefinder can be used to confirm focus. Also, it easily attaches to the camera's hot shoe.

question

Can this work on its own i.e without attaching to a camera?
Asked by: Khris
Yes, you can hold the ZEISS Viewfinder up to your eye without mounting to a camera. However, the product is intended to act as a framing device for rangefinder cameras. In this role, it needs to be mounted to a camera in order to frame the shot accurately.
