Written by G. Rogliatti to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Leica's commercial introduction in 1925, the book traces the development of the legendary 35mm camera from Oskar Barnack's pioneering prototype through to the sophisticated models of the 1970s. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, it documents the technological innovations that transformed photography and established Leica as a benchmark of precision engineering.\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    The volume examines the history of the Ernst Leitz company, the evolution of individual Leica models, and the many lenses, accessories, prototypes, and special-purpose cameras produced during the firm's first half-century. Particularly valuable to collectors and historians is the inclusion of production data, serial number information, lens records, manufacturing details, and extensive reference material published with the cooperation of Leica itself. Numerous photographs illustrate cameras and equipment throughout the company's development, making the book both an engaging history and an indispensable identification guide.\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    Published in 1975 as a First Edition and preserved in its original clipped dustjacket, this work remains one of the classic references on Leica collecting. It captures the story of a camera that revolutionised photography by popularising the 35mm format and enabling a new generation of photojournalists, artists, and enthusiasts to work with unprecedented freedom. Today Leica: The First Fifty Years is highly regarded by collectors of photographic literature, camera historians, and Leica enthusiasts alike.\"\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n    Minor wear to clipped dust jacket otherwise very good condition overall.
