The glory of Leica camera in the past

Leica camera's durability and good performance were fully reflected during World War II. Leica became the first choice for military cameras and was an important tool for military journalists at that time. Journalists rush about in battlefields with harsh environments all over the world, and a lightweight and sturdy Leica 135 camera has become their favorite.

Moreover, HenriCartierBresson, a French photographer who died at the age of 96, was the first photographer in the world to use a Leica 35mm camera. He used the special "observation window" of Leica camera and accurate prediction scheme to capture the climax of people's continuous action when the incident occurred.

Leica camera originated in Germany, and the Germanic national character gave it a rigorous style, which lasted for a long time. So another function of Leica camera lies in its collection value. According to Leica collectors, each camera of Leica has a separate serial number, which has been continuous since the first one, and is of great collection value. It's "Rolls Royce in the camera kingdom".
