Leica Accessoires (mix) Camera accessories

Mix van Leica accessoires. * Zie foto's voor inhoud. Made in Germany This is an impressive collection of vintage **Leitz Wetzlar (Leica)** accessories, primarily focused on macro photography, close-up work, and specialized viewfinding for screw-mount (LTM) and M-series cameras. Here is a breakdown of the items visible in the lot: ### Macro and Close-Up Equipment * **SOOKY / SOMKY Close-Focus Attachments:** The two black, rectangular devices with glass windows in the center. These are "Optical Viewing Units" that sit on top of the camera to compensate for parallax when using lenses like the 50mm Elmar or Summicron at close range. * **Leitz Copy Stands (BOOWU / BOWUM):** The black metal frames with four legs (some folded, some standing) and the circular rings. These are used to position the camera at fixed distances for 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3 reproduction ratios of documents or small objects. * **Extension Tubes:** The silver and black threaded rings (found in the long white box on the left and various smaller boxes) used to increase the distance between the lens and the film plane for macro shots. ### Optics and Filters * **Large Circular Lens/Filter:** In the foreground, there is a large diameter lens or filter with a distinct yellow/orange coating. * **Small Slip-on Filters:** Several small glass filters in original red/brown Leitz boxes (labels like "Elmar" and "E. Leitz Wetzlar" are visible). These typically include UV, yellow, or color-correction filters for early 35mm or 50mm lenses. * **Plastic "Bubble" Cases:** Two clear acrylic canisters used for storing lenses or specialized optical heads. ### Adapters and Mechanical Accessories * **Lens Mount Adapters:** At least one M-mount adapter is visible (top right), likely for mounting screw-mount lenses onto M-series bodies. * **Cable Releases:** Two flexible shutter cable releases with silver tips, essential for avoiding camera shake during the long exposures often required in macro work. * **Focusing Bellows/Mount Parts:** Various black metal components that integrate with the copy stands and extension systems. ### Documentation and Packaging * **Original Red Boxes:** Several classic "Leitz Wetzlar" red boxes. One is specifically marked **"LEICAFLEX,"** indicating some items might be for the Leica SLR system rather than just the rangefinders. --- **Note on Condition:** These items appear to be in excellent aesthetic condition. For collectors, the "SOOKY" units and the complete copy stand sets (with all legs present) are the most significant pieces of this kit.
