The Pupille has two small holes on the top plate, mainly used to plug an external rangefinder made by Leitz, similar to that of the Leica Standard. Accessory reflex finders were also made, transforming the camera into some sort of TLR. At least two types were available; one is the Megoflex by Hugo Meyer, also made for other cameras; the other is pictured above and was made by an unknown manufacturer, perhaps Nagel itself.
