CLASSIC CAMERA LEICA III f Oskar Barnack, the inventor of Leica, in his studio Once upon a time in 1950: Two fantastic developments conquered the market. One was the Leica IIIf camera, with which the global Leitz brand launched one of the most successful cameras. With sales of 70,000, this elegant masterpiece became a classic and made photographic history not least because of its distinctive design. The other was the legendary MINOX miniature camera, in which the inventor Walter Zapp, who is now 95 years old, combined 375 individual parts into a sensational unit. Like nothing else, the MINOX camera proves that magnificent technology can work in a minimal amount of space. As an example of miniaturisation personified, this masterpiece started its triumphant worldwide progress at the beginning of 1950 and now it enjoys a status as one of the most unusual cameras with international popularity. In the meantime, the MINOX brand has become a subsidiary of Leica and this convenient link inspired MINOX to create an unusual new edition.
