MEET THE ARTIST OSKAR BARNACK...

 

Oskar Barnack was a German optical engineer, precision mechanic, industrial designer, and father of 35mm photography.

While working for Leitz, a microscope manufacturer, the engineer, master and photography enthusiast, invented the original Ur-Leica (Leica I): the first precision miniature camera to become commercially possible. Barnack and Leica were captured through the lens itself. 

His main work: Ur-Leica - the prototype of a small format 35mm camera.

 

You must accept it as it is, and hence accept all consequences. A wall is indeed a wall.” – Oskar Barnack
