WINTU chrome right angle viewer c1933-39
Toronto. About six years ago I discussed the WINTU – a tiny Leitz accessory for their now famous Leica camera.
The first right angle viewer was made around 1929. This version was made around 1933 through 1939.
It serves as a reminder that our coming fall fair will be chock full of exciting goodies just waiting to join your collection. Thee may be a boxed WINTU sitting there waiting, but you never know. I always looked forward to the fairs, enjoying the chance to acquire some interesting books, pamphlets, cameos, lenses, accessories etc. to expand my collection. At home, I would photograph the gadgets I discovered and leap into more research on each item. A wonderful exciting time!
This year the fall fair is on October 20th, a week after Thanksgiving here in the great white north. Free parking, inexpensive admission, good food, and great finds make the fall fair a ‘must see’ event!
