       Re: View  Systems,  Inc.  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-8 for the
           Employment Agreements and Consulting Agreements of View Systems, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to View  Systems,  Inc.  (the  "Company"),  in
connection  with the issuance by the Company of 354,000  shares of common stock,
par value  $.001 per  share  (the  "Shares"),  under  the  Company's  Employment
Agreements  with Gunther Than and David  Bruggeman and the Company's  Consulting
Agreements with Thomas Cloutier and John Thompson (the  "Agreements"),  pursuant
to the above-referenced  Registration  Statement (the "Registration  Statement")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act"),  filed on
this date by the  Company  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the
"Commission").

         We have examined copies of (i) the Certificate of  Incorporation of the
Company, as amended (the "Charter"),  (ii) the Bylaws of the Company,  (iii) the
Agreements,  and (iv)  resolutions  adopted  by the  Board of  Directors  of the
Company  relating to the matters  referred to herein.  We have also examined the
Registration  Statement and Exhibits thereto  (collectively,  with the documents
described in the preceding sentence, referred to as the "Documents").

         In expressing the opinions set forth below, we have assumed, and so far
as is known to us there are no facts inconsistent therewith,  that all Documents
submitted to us as originals are  authentic,  all  documents  submitted to us as
certified  or  photostatic  copies  conform  to  the  original  documents,   all
signatures on all such  Documents are genuine,  all public  records  reviewed or
relied upon by us or on our behalf are true and complete, and all statements and
information contained in the Documents are true and complete.




         Based on the foregoing,  it is our opinion that the Shares will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         This opinion is being furnished to you for your benefit, and may not be
relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent.

         We hereby  consent to the  filing of this  opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of the name of our firm therein. In giving
this  opinion,  we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose
consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act.


                                       Very truly yours,

                                       /s/ GORDON, FEINBLATT, ROTHMAN,
                                           HOFFBERGER & HOLLANDER, LLC
