The Leica works at Wetzlar, 1937

A long workshop lit by tall windows stretches away from the camera, rows of men in work coats and white shirts bent over benches with lamps and small tools; in the foreground a worker holds a part up close to his eye. Ernst Leitz's firm in Wetzlar had launched the Leica, Oskar Barnack's small camera for 35-millimetre film, in 1925, and it changed photography.
