Cleaning lenses and checking lens barrels, 1937

In close view a hand with a wedding ring passes a soft cloth over rows of polished lenses laid face-up on a dark board, catching the light; then a young worker in a white coat at a window bench takes a lens barrel from a long rack of finished objectives and turns it in his fingers, peering into the glass. The lenses were computed by Max Berek, head of the Leitz optical department, who designed the Elmar, the Leica's standard lens.
