KMZ Turret Multi-Finder

Shown mounted to an early 1960s Kiev 4A camera, this auxiliary finder was originally a reasonable copy of a similar finder made for pre-WWII Contax rangefinder cameras, Soviet Russia's KMZ made incremental improvements to the German design with the result being this very nice turret viewfinder. While the ocular is rather squinty, the finder is bright and optically quite good. Rather than using a projected or albedo view frame, this finder has clear area with cross-hairs surrounded by a patterned overlay. Supported 24x36mm field of views include 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm, all with partial (vertical only) parallax correction.
