Viewfinder 35mm

thingiverse

A simple Viewfinder for my 1939 Leica iiia. I was looking for a viewfinder for my Leica iiia rangefinder camera, but they were either cheap with poor optics, or very expensive with good optics. I wanted something with good optics and cheap. I saw this design originally by JanGeloen (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2526736) where Jan uses a view finder from an old Canon sure-shot AF-7. I bought this camera on eBay for ~$15 and took out the viewfinder, but the way Jan had designed it it needed some reworking of the camera's lens system. I redesigned it to take the individual lenses and mount them in the lens holder. You also need an M2 x6mm (socket head) and M3 x 6mm (countersunk) and M3 nut. I designed it so no supports are needed.
