Lecture by Hans-Günter Kisselbach - Barnacks erste Leica

September 28, 2019 from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Hans-Günter Kisselbach came across a very special prototype in the collection of his father : the hand sample of Oskar Barnack.

Hans-Günter Kisselbach was curious to find out what the first Leica is still capable of and wanted to test it in practical use. What requirements has it grown and where are the limits that have only been overcome by further development?

These questions were the beginning of a four-year study of this sensational find, the camera, which was the first step in a new era of photography. Hans-Günter Kisselbach tells the story of this camera, describes it in detail, shows the photos that were taken in the years 2003 to 2007.
