However, they were often purchased together by photographers using Leica screw-mount (LTM) cameras that lacked built-in 35mm framelines.
The Summaron 35mm f/3.5 was a popular lens sold independently by Leica for use on Leica III-series and early M-series cameras (especially pre-M2).
The Leitz 35mm external viewfinder (usually metal-cased and marked Wetzlar) was sold separately as an accessory.
Photographers used this external finder on older Leica bodies (e.g., IIIc, IIIf, etc.) because they only had built-in viewfinders for 50mm lenses.
