About
Oskar Barnack's genius idea of creating the small format 35mm camera
created a revolution in photography in 1925, paving the way for the
birth of the Leica Legend. His diminutive, lightweight LEICA A offered
a new, undreamed-of freedom in reportage and artistic photography. From
that point to the present day, Leica has had a profound influence on our
view of the world we live in.
What was started in 1914 with the Ur-Leica quickly turned into a lasting
success. In 1932, around 90,000 cameras were already in use. By 1961, the
number had increased to a million. Milestones in the development include
the rangefinder cameras such as the legendary LEICA M3 in 1954 and the M6
in 1984. The R-System commenced in 1976 with the LEICA R3 - the first
electronic Leica. In 1989, the first compact point-and-shoot model entered
the market. 1998 also saw the launch of the first digital camera - the
LEICA DIGILUX. Without exception, all developments are focused on the
requirements of the user and are characterized by the highest quality,
focus on essential functions, and comfortable user-friendly controls.
