Single exposure devices  :

These accessories were introduced by Leitz to give "the LEICA owner the possibility of making greater use of his set of lens".

They were available in Germany in both versions in 1934. The device consisted of a cast alloy housing finished in black crackle enamel, circular in shape but with a right angle corner to provide tripod bushes for vertical and horizontal formats.
the lens screwed in the front and the back accepted the circular glass ground screen or the dark slide with a single frame length of film.
A separate IBSOR" shutter was provided to fit on the front of the lens.

An accessories shoe took one of the Leitz viewfinders.

 

The OLIGO with large shutter Ibsor and nickel Elmar,

The OLEYO with small shutter Ibsor and nickel Elmar ,

 

After focus was done on the rear focusing glass, this one was removed and replaced by the film loaded plate.

Note different fixing and form for single exposure plates. They found also their use by photograph's shops for passport type pictures or for testing film.

In the copying equipment the OMEXO is enough “exotic” to be the choice for illustrating the copying equipment family.

It was conceived to be able to copy un transportable elements so it had to be transportable by himself.
