right-angle 5x magnifier accessory for Leitz mirror box
Toronto. In a recent post, I looked at the Visoflex ‘chimney’ for the mirror box fitted between a Leica and its bellows. Even before the Visoflex series went to market, Leitz made mirror boxes like the PLOOT which came with its own chimney magnifier and eye guard.
An alternative to the chimney was offered in the form of a 5 power right-angle viewer accessory code named PAMOO. Early versions (like at left) used a mirror while newer ones benefit from a prism.
When the Visoflex II and III came along, the mirror box was sold with a 4 power right angle viewer rather than a ‘chimney’ which was now offered as an added accessory. The viewer used a prism.
