  • Presseinformation Neue Wechselausstellung Im Leitz-Park.Pdf
    Presseinformation Leica Spektakulär : Neue Wechselausstellung in der Leica Erlebniswelt im Leitz-Park Wetzlar Wetzlar, 29. Oktober 2019. Die Leica Erlebniswelt im Foyer des Leica Firmengebäudes im Leitz-Park Wetzlar zeigt eine neue Wechselausstellung. Unter dem Titel „Leica Spektakulär“ sind Raritäten zu sehen, die besondere Geschichten erzählen. Zu den Höhepunkten gehören ein speziell für die Mondmission entwickeltes Leitz Trinovid Fernglas, eine Kamera Leica III (F), mit der das Hindenburg Unglück fotografiert wurde, sowie drei echte „Lebensretter“. Apollo 11 - Leitz Trinovid Nicht nur für die Menschheit, sondern auch für die Optischen Werke Ernst Leitz GmbH in Wetzlar war die Mondlandung der Apollo 11 vor 50 Jahren ein historisches Ereignis. Denn die NASA mit Sitz in Houston / Texas hatte ein spezielles Leitz Trinovid Fernglas bestellt, das die Apollo Piloten auf ihrer Mondmission einsetzten. Es besteht aus einem Tubus (Monokular) und wird bis heute als „Eye of Apollo“ bezeichnet. Die Tragödie Hindenburg - Leica III (F) Im Rahmen einer großen PR-Kampagne der Hindenburger Muttergesellschaft in Deutschland waren 22 Fotografen für die Landung des 245 Meter langen und lenkbaren Luftschiffs vor Ort. Unter ihnen auch der Fotograf Sam Shere, der das Hindenburg Unglück in Lakehurst am 6. Mai 1937 mit seiner Leica III (F) aus dem Jahr 1935 fotografiert hat. Obwohl viele ähnliche Fotos von der Katastrophe existieren, wurde Sam Sheres Foto das berühmteste Nachrichtenfoto, das jemals aufgenommen wurde. Geschenk an Präsident Eisenhower – Leica M3 Offiziell wurde die Leica M3 im März 1960 durch Bundeskanzler Konrad Adenauer im Rahmen eines zwölftägigen USA Besuchs in New York an US-Präsident Dwight D. Eisenhower übergeben. Die eingravierten Initialen „D.D.E.“ lassen die Kamera zu einem Unikat werden.

  • 60 Years of Photographic Excellence
    LEICA 60 YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EXCELLENCE 1st prototype Oscar Barnack (1879-1936), researcher at the Leitz’s factory of Wetzlar, develops a prototype of photographic camera, using 35 mm cinema film. Use of this film, in a reduced format of 24 x 36 1913 mm, allows Barnack to imagine a very compact camera for that period. This camera has a single achromatic lens and no shutter. At the end of WWI, Oscar Barnack restarts his project of compact LEICA pilot production camera. He improves its concept and its ergonomics by having the idea to link together film advance with the reload mechanism of the shutter. 1923 Barnack asks Max Berek (1886-1949) to develop a small size lens able to be adapted on his camera. Then, Berek creates the famous Elmar 1:3.5 f=50 mm. The Leitz company decides to produce a pilot production of 6 cameras named LEICA (contraction of LEItz and CAmera). Official commercialization of the LEICA, equipped with the Elmar 1:3.5 f=50 mm, starts this year. These starts are laborious as people, probably accustomed to large negative format, remain distant from the smallness of the 24 x 36 mm format. LEICA I But soon, the outstanding quality and the compactness of this camera make this one receives the plebiscite of photographers. The small dimensions of this camera make its very discreet, 1925 allowing illustrated reports without people’s knowledge. Characteristics of the LEICA I are the following : • Focal shutter • Speeds from 1/20 to 1/500 of second and B • Lens Elmar 1:3.5 f=50 mm • Galilean viewfinder (and later on, removable rangefinder mounted on a special stand).
