Leica do not produce as wide a range of lenses as larger manufacturers, nor are Leica products mass produced on a scale of the likes of Canon or Nikon, Leica lenses are however seen as being the absolute best that money can buy. Leica are viewed by many photography aficionados as being the world’s leading manufacturer of premium cameras and optics, the high water-mark of the industry Today we will be taking a look at lenses made for their interchangeable camera systems. The Leica Model A was the world’s first mass produced 35mm format camera, representing a revolution in camera design that still resonates throughout the industry today. Rumor has it that this first Leica lens was named after designer Max Berek’s dog, also named ‘Max’. In 1925 the Leica Model A (or Leica 1) made its debut, featuring a fixed 50mm Elmax f/3.5 lens. The design was revolutionary, using an extremely compact body and a horizontally scrolling film, a design language still widely utilized today. Leica’s (Leitz Camera) roots can be traced back to Germany, 1913 Oskar Barnack, working for Ernst Leitz Optische Werke (then the world’s largest producer of microscopes) built the company’s first prototype 35mm camera.
