Here a small selection of the
current Leica stories:
LEICA MINUTE: A Hektor 25mm ultra-wide-angle lens ? - - -
To emphasize again:
The hypothesis of a planned but then unrealized 25mm lens seems very convincing to me.
And:
It would not be the first time in Leica basic research that extremely spectacular basic information came to light through such a stupid coincidence.

LEICA MINUTE: An isolated Japanese development: VEHIG based on an Einzelbildgerät
LEICA MINUTE: Leica Sonnar (from Zeiss, Jena) with special focusing lever
LEICA MINUTES: The famos Paul-Henry van Hasbroeck Calendar
LEICA MINUTE: Leica R: Preview
Today I would like to give just a short preview of this Leica. On the one hand, it is quite unusual. On the other hand, I have a very subjective interpretation of this, which can also be completely wrong. But it's a longer story that I hope to tell you soon in a somewhat entertaining way. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx classic camera, vintage camera, collector camera, Wetzlar
LEICA MINUTE: Unknown Variant: ABCOO: Cutting knives for the film inside the Leica
LEICA MINUTE: A Leica-Synchronization-Machine; not by Leitz
LEICA MINUTE: Monoculars
LEICA MINUTES: Oppenheimer: 7 Oscars and
2 Leicas
7 Oscars for Oppenheimer: That
completely messes up my schedule. I've had the Oppenheimer story under
construction on my website for over a year. But still not published
offensively. Why: The area is infinitely large. My material about it is very
extensive and still not nearly complete. Furthermore: It is safer to report on
the development of diving than on the construction oft he atomic bomb. But now
it has to be: I would like to introduce you to two Leicas from the Manhattan
Project (MP), which were then taken over by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)
at the turn of the year 1945/46.
LEICA MINUTES: Zeppelin: A Leica Book?
LEICA MINUTE: Leica II chrome early: part 1. AND: Württemberg
LEICA MINUTE: Leica II chrome early: part 2. AND: Spider Lady
LEICA MINUTE: A very special Leica binocular: Leihglas-Kriegsausführung
LEICA MINUTE: double exposure
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
LEICA MINUTE: double exposure
A heretical question: Is there perhaps a
functionality that the screw-mount Leicas can handle and the M Leicas cannot?
Surprising answer: YES! Because the speed dial rotates, you can do double exposures
with screw-on Leicas, but not with M-Leicas.

LEICA MINUTES: There are not only Leicas
For me it's about comfort, lightness and
carefreeness. Today I'm introducing you to a trio that you probably haven't
heard of before. If I take analogue photos again (far too rarely) and NOT with
the Leica, then

LEICA MINUTE: Star-Lenses
From my experience and also from what
you see in the literature, these are usually not unique pieces. The lenses
usually come from a larger group of plus minus hundred lenses, all of which
have star numbers. Sometimes I think that it would actually be much more
interesting to find a lens that has a normal serial number but that has a
counterpart with a star number. But one thing seems obvious to me: When it
comes to the lenses, the individual star actors play a much smaller role than
the star groups. The opposite is probably the case with star cameras.

LEICA MINUTE: Tiranty very rare
On my website alone I show four black Leica II S-T. And I've seen a whole lot more. Surprisingly, I only saw exactly one S-T model of the black Leica III, which is exactly the same number as the Reporter Leica. Please let me know about the S-T variants of Leica III (and reporter) that you are aware of.
LEICA MINUTE: Travel preparations in 1944
LEICA MINUTE: Leica tourism through Europe with travel guides from 1944
