Magazine B – Issue No. 34: LEICA – A Century of Precision in Photography

Leica's legacy began in the realm of optics, but it was the revolutionary introduction of the first 35mm camera in 1914 that transformed the German company into a global icon of photographic craftsmanship. More than a brand, Leica has become a cultural touchstone for photographers, artists, and documentarians seeking clarity, durability, and a distinct aesthetic.

This issue of Magazine B explores Leica’s unwavering commitment to precision engineering, timeless design, and storytelling through imagery. In contrast to mass-market digital SLR giants, Leica's approach remains rooted in simplicity and mechanical excellence—inviting users to slow down and reconnect with the fundamentals of image-making.

Through interviews, design history, and a close look at Leica's influence on photography culture, this volume presents an in-depth portrait of a brand that helped define the visual language of the 20th and 21st centuries.
