I have been through a lot of cameras in my time, and I have owned a few different Leica bodies. Both a legacy and an inspiration for every photographer exploring the world with a Leica M, to transform the images of the mind’s eye into photographic reality.Why I think the M6 is the best Leica rangefinder This was the first successful 35 mm camera, and it established an entirely new genre – namely, reportage photography. On display are works that breathe life into the Leica legend and follow the traditions established by Oskar Barnack with his Ur-Leica, now more than a century ago. The exhibition “36 aus 100” at Leitz-Park Wetzlar showcases an exclusive selection of these photographs.

The results are iconic photographs that influence our perception of reality and, with this, our view of the world around us. Whether Nick Ùt or Magnum photographers like Elliott Erwitt or Thomas Hoepker - the heart-of-the-action immediacy of the rangefinder principle, a determined concentration on essential photographic needs, fulfilling the most stringent demands on quality, make the Leica M the preferred instrument for exceptional creative talents. The combination of mechanical and optical precision, and absolute discretion, has been at the root of the Leica M-System’s success since its introduction more than 60 years ago – and has remained a winning formula for the future. A lens dating back to 1954, for instance, can be used without hesitation with the latest digital models in the Leica M range. More than ever, the evolution of the Leica M has been characterised by the consistent implementation of a single concept: at the time of its launch, every M-Camera represented the pinnacle of the ‘technically possible’ – including only the features essential for photography. This is also true of the system compatibility of these precision instruments. The timeless design, the manual craftsmanship and the use of only the finest materials guarantee unrivalled performance every day and an exceptionally long working life.

Long before sustainability became a familiar expression, the Leica M and its legendary lenses represented the epitome of enduring value, and were passed down in families from generation to generation.Īnd it lives on.
