Revised History of the Leica

I conducted a fair of research into the history of the Leica and found that many historians, me included, were wrong. One name that stands out is Giannu Rogliatti. To no fault of his own. his account of the prototype or Ur-Leica is incorrect, including his claim of a second Ur-Leica that supposedly belonged to Konrad Barnack, the son of Oskar Barnack. In a nutshell, there was only one Ur-Leica, not two as so often claimed.

Different people have different preferences, and that’s perfectly normal.
