Leica bodies in a rack, 1937

A hand reaches into a wooden rack holding rows of gleaming Leica camera bodies and lifts one out; a young worker in a white coat then raises it close to his face and sights through the rangefinder window, turning the focusing mount with his fingers. The coupled rangefinder, introduced in 1932, had made the Leica the preferred camera of press photographers the world over.
