De Mornay Budd Reflex Finder on a Leica II
The De Mornay Budd Reflex Finder is an unusual accessory not commonly scene for Leica cameras. In the 1940s De Mornay Budd produced these finders for both Leica II and Leica III cameras, as well as certain Contax cameras. The finder attaches to the top of the Leica camera via the accessory shoe and provides a top-down reflex finder... basically it turns your Leica rangefinder into a small TLR camera. Meant to be used with 50mm collapsible lenses, a small arm at the base of the finder rested against the base plate of the lens and adjusted focus in the finder as the lens itself was focused. A small wireframe cutout in the finder also adjusted for parallax. While not terribly valuable despite their modest rarity these days, the De Mornay Budd Reflex Finder is still a pretty cool accessory for your Leica.
