Tonight Red Dot Forum Camera Talk will air the episode “Leica Myths & Legends” – it should be an interesting one. Here is what to expect:
Join Josh Lehrer and David Farkas for a special episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk as we tackle Leica Myths and Legends. From Oskar Barnack and the birth of 35mm still photography, to Life Magazine photojournalists and Cold War spy cameras, we’ll separate fact from fiction and uncover the stories that shaped Leica’s legacy.
We’ll explore the myths around CCD vs. CMOS, Made in Canada lenses, and whether Leica really fell behind in digital innovation. We’ll discuss the stories behind iconic gear like the M4-2, M9, Monochrom, Q, and SL. Along the way, we’ll highlight the people who saved Leica, from Ernst Leitz II to Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, and celebrate the cameras and lenses that became legends.
Watch it here:
