About the item: The Leica with the Sliding Focusing Copying Attachment is an extremely versatile unit for close-up and copy photography. It permits pictures to be made from infinity down to 2 inches or less from the object. Industry used this equipment to make extreme close-up photos to reveal detail which is not normally visible. And it was also employed for microfilming -- making 35mm copies of drawings, office records, etc., for preservation and convenience in storage. The Sliding Focusing Copying Attachment was but one of the many Leica accessories made by Leica American Craftsmen.
