 Is this a Leica standard product?  Name please?
 
 I do not ned for it to be Leitz made.

COOMI and ZOOXY are such as you describe.  These were designed for the 
earlier versions of the Focuslide-type apparati and use with 5cm lenses.  
Whether there's sufficient helix travel for your [unstated] intentions or 
not, I can't say.
