PLOOT is the designation used by Leitz for an early accessory reflex finder, announced 1934-5[1], which adapts their screw-mount rangefinder cameras into an approximation of an SLR. This is used with telephoto and macro lenses. The PLOOT was superceded by several generations of Visoflex housing.
Notes
- ↑ 1935, according to the Wikipedia article "Leica Camera"; however, a set comprising a Telyt 20 cm f/4.5, serial no. 230214 and PLOOT housing, sold at the November 2002 Westlicht Photographica Auction,was dated to 1934 by the auctioneer.
