The Minox viewer was one of the earliest accessories with the first version being designed by Walter Zapp for the Riga. The viewer is a 10x magnifying glass mounting in a metal collar and slotted into the handle. The handle is like a tong gripping the transparent negative wallet or slide. The two piece handle is held together by two rivets. The lower part of the handle ends in a ring which grips the sleeve. "VEF MINOX Made in Latvia" is engraved in the middle of the top of the handle.
