Thank you, it is quite good in fact.
I had to exercise my very bad German, but its quite straightforward.
The Oscar Barnack Ur-Leica is quite interesting.

Great that it is on YouTube now.
I missed half of it some days ago, but have seen it already.

Inspired, I've got my M6 loaded again and have the 28 on there for now
M9s down to 5k, M8s to 2k
I just missed an M8 with low shutter at 1750---prolly all for the best.

The most interesting is the explanation why Barnack built it.
Until now I've heard/read different stories about how he was disabilitated (some sources speak about Asthm, some about some locomotorial (foot) problem) and could not carry a big camera or that he was hiking, etc. These versions seemed suspicious to me for two reasons: 1. he could buy a tiny camera already, this was maybe not somethin usual at that time but also not inexistent. Little folders or also boxcameras existed in the 1920s. 2. he had the capability and the tools to build from the beginning a camera tehnically much more advanced for photography.
So I consider the explanation that he built the Ur-Leica not as a camera but as a tool for testing film sensibility much more acceptable. Yes, it was a box where he could alternate exposition per frame not needing to expose long portions of film in a filming camera. |

Seems like an interesting documentary. It would be even more interesting, I guess, if I could understand something
