Download or read book Oskar Barnack from the Idea to the Leica written by and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is approximately one hundred years ago that Oskar Barnack designed a camera for 35 mm motion picture film without a forerunner or any camera with similar specifications. The camera was to fit in a coat pocket and should always be ready to take pictures. Those were Oskar Barnack¿s self-imposed objectives. On 31 December 1839, the ¿Münchner Politische Zeitung¿ (Munich political newspaper) reported about a recent simplification of the Daguerrian method by Professor Steinheil, who had developed a camera for 4 x 4 cm negatives and who demanded that camera and pictures should be even significantly smaller in order for photography to achieve a greater popularity. Oskar Barnack did not know about this report, but it was Barnack who satisfied this demand 75 years later.The Leica was ridiculed in 1925, but in 1932 one hundred thousand cameras had been distributed all over the world. The Leica made it possible for the photographer to experience a new spirit in photo-graphy, a photography of the actual events. Contrived scenes were no longer necessary.But who was Oskar Barnack? What led him to the idea to design a camera around 35 mm motion pic-ture film, fit in the coat pocket, and produced only a postage stamp sized negative? (Experts of the time said that could not be possible). However, the renowned manufacturer of microscopes, Ernst Leitz, of Wetzlar, Germany, which had never produced a camera, decided to manufacture this camera. Why? In Germany, at this time was the world¿s largest and most innovative camera industry. However, life was difficult because of ruinous competition between large camera manufactures. Still, the Leica could establish itself in a masterful way. How Oskar Barnack arrived at his idea and how he accomplished it is described in this book.
