Without technical competence, museums are dull, uninteresting places. Loving something you know very little about, is also dull, and inconsiderate. So I decided to explain Leica’s design for those who wish to get to know more about its history. I am not so worried to face lack of technical background among readers because Leica fans have been self enthused to know more about opto-me- chanics. In future volumes, I hope to cover Leica lenses, the SLRs, and accessories. This book will take you a bit farther than prior art to appreciate the Leica design with more passion. If you look at history of invention, you may find it rather cruel: Most of what we create is treated like foot prints on a shore, waiting for quick waves to wash them away. -

Press Information photokina 2018: Visitors to the Leica Camera stand in Hall 2.2 can look forward to a discovering a comprehensive portfolio of products and services Wetzlar, 6 September 2018. The focus of Leica’s appearance at photokina 2018 in Cologne is not only set on the extremely diverse product portfolio of the traditional manufacturer from Wetzlar, but also on the Leitz Park itself. At Leica, everything has always revolved around the picture, the school of visualisation, the history of photography, the vibrancy of photographic culture and the people behind the cameras – in other words, DAS WESENTLICHE. Since the opening of the Leitz Park complex on 15 June 2018, all this is now a visible and tangible experience. In the open-plan, newly conceived Leica stand in Hall 2.2, visitors can find information and comprehensive advice about the broad spectrum of Leica products and services for all photographic applications and scenarios. The demonstration area has now been split into thematic areas to provide easier orientation for professionals, amateurs and other visitors interested in particular Leica products or services. While the ‘Professional’ area concentrates on the Leica S and its lenses and products from Sinar Photography, the ‘Systems’ area focuses on the Leica SL, the Leica M and the APS-C cameras of the Leica CL and Leica TL systems – and, of course, the full range of corresponding Leica precision lenses. The ‘Compact’ area is dedicated to the Leica Q, Leica D-Lux, Leica V-Lux, Leica X-U and Leica C-Lux cameras and the Leica Sofort instant picture camera. -

Press Information
Press information Limited special edition for the 100th anniversary: The Leica CL ‘100 jahre bauhaus ’ Wetzlar, 17 May 2019 . Leica Camera AG celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus with a special edition of the Leica CL ‘100 jahre bauhaus’. The set comprises a silver version of the Leica CL, a matching Elmarit-TL 18 mm f/2.8 ASPH. lens in silver and a carrying strap. The leather trim of the camera and the carrying strap are embossed with the Bauhaus logotype. This was created in 1929 by Joost Schmidt, one of the earliest students of the school, who defined the distinctive typography of the Bauhaus more than any other, for the title of the quarterly magazine of the same name. A further special feature of the Leica CL ‘100 jahre bauhaus’ is the restrained execution of the Leica logo in black on the camera body. Together with the subtle Bauhaus-embossing, the special edition ideally reflects the concept of plain and simple design advocated by the Bauhaus school in accordance with the principles of ‘form follows function’. The Leica CL ‘100 jahre bauhaus’ is on sale from 27 May. The edition is strictly limited to only 150 examples. The Leica CL is a synthesis of iconic design and advanced camera technology. As a compact system camera, it stands as a versatile tool for photographers who appreciate faultless image quality and an outstandingly intuitive handling concept. A 24-megapixel sensor, fast autofocus and a continuous shooting rate of up to ten frames per second make the Leica CL the ideal companion for spontaneous photography. -

Di Giuseppe Ciccarella
di Giuseppe Ciccarella Nel 1933 la Ernst Leitz GmbH Wetzlar propone sul mercato il 90/4 Elmar. L©idea era quella di avere un ªtele-tascabileº. Di anni, da allora, ne sono passati e durante il lungo cammino, la Leitz ha rimpolpato il suo carnet con diversi tele da 90mm. Con l©aumentare della luminosità sono aumentati, di pari passo, dimensioni e pesi. Il 90mm Elmar ha continuato a fornire, come punto di forza, la compattezza, mentre nel 1954 ªvede la luceº la versione collassabile per Leica M3, con lo stesso disegno, quattro lenti in tre gruppi. Nel 1963 esordisce la versione ªtre lentiº. Anche se le prestazioni sono eccellenti, la luminosità f/4 è però un po limitante e la versione Elmarit f/2.8, cinque lenti in tre gruppi, del 1959, colma il gap, fornendo inoltre ottime prestazioni. Le lunghe dimensioni dell©oggetto, però, poco affascinano gli utenti. Nel 1965 spariglia le carte il solito Dr. Walter Mandler, che già aveva firmato il ªtre lentiº. ªL©arsenale d©ideeº Leitz di Midland propone il 90 f/2.8 Tele-Elmarit, un cinque lenti in cinque gruppi, poi denominato dal volgo: ªfatº; grasso. Compatto e di lunghezza fisica inferiore alla lunghezza focale. E© un gran successo, anche perchè le prestazioni sono ottime e chi vuole avere una alternativa di luminosità superiore, deve optare per il Summicron 90 f/2, sempre Mandler Made, anche se il peso, di quasi 700g e le dimensioni, rappresentano lo scotto da pagare per coloro che hanno necessità della apertura massima relativa f/2. Il Leitz Summicron 90 f/2 è a tuttoggi un ottimo obiettivo. -

Press Information the Leica APS-C System
Press information The Leica APS-C System: high quality cameras and lenses that impress with compact size, stylish design, intuitive handling and exceptional picture quality. Wetzlar, 21 November 2017. Leica Camera AG has expanded its APS-C System product portfolio. The Leica TL2 has now been joined by the Leica CL, a further camera with a high- resolution, 24 MP, APS-C format sensor. Also new in the system is the Elmarit-TL 1:2.8/18 ASPH. lens. This wide-angle offers imaging performance and compact dimensions that ideally complement both cameras and is available not only in black, but also in a silver anodised version. Thanks to these new additions, the Leica APS-C System now offers a diversified portfolio of cameras and lenses that combine compact design with exceptional picture quality and enable users to experience a truly special kind of photography. Both camera models, the Leica CL and the Leica TL2, are made in Germany. In technical terms, they are equals, but could hardly be more different with regard to their design and handling concepts: reflecting the traditions of Leica in the form of the iconic Leica CL and, in contrast, the futuristic look of the Leica TL2. The Leica CL is an intuitive tool, with all essential controls located on its top plate. In addition to the high-resolution electronic viewfinder, there are two dials for setting the aperture, shutter speed ISO value, and exposure compensation. Everything is so conveniently located that photographs can be made without taking the camera from the eye. An additional display on the top plate instantly provides information about all relevant settings and exposure parameters. -
