The object of this book is to demonstrate to the reader how recent developments have so greatly simplified the enlarging and printing process – particularly in color, which was once the preserve of only the most dedicated amateur. Modern cameras, particularly the 35mm SLR which is now so widely used, have made the taking of the original snapshot simple and reliable. The cameras themselves are capable of producing results of a quality that their owners seldom realize when they rely on mass commercial processing and printing. This book is ideal for the expert and amateur.

This catalog covers models II, III, IIIa, Standard and 250.

Personalties around the Leica such as Ernst Leitz II, Oskar Barnack, Henri Dumur, Paul Wolff, Heinrich Stockler and Julius Behnke come to life again through Walther Benser’s tales and recollections presented to us in a new light. The Leica lecture tours, started by Anton Baumann, soon became Benser’s specialty with which he achieved world-wide recognition. He took his shows not only around Germany but also into neighboring countries even after he war had begun. As a result of his photographic activity he eventually became a war reporter.
