Disillusioned, Barnack later offered the camera to Leitz after moving to Wetzlar, following his friend Emil Mechau who joined Leitz some years earlier. He had developed the first 135mm film-based photo-camera and took it to Zeiss director Guido Mengel, who rejected the design. Till that moment, the size of the negative had been determining the size of the final picutre. Barnack was a film geek and moving pictures was the new revolution back in early 1900's.Īs early as 1905, while employed by Carl Zeiss (from 1902 to 2010), Barnack had the idea of reducing the format of negatives and then enlarging the photographs after they had been exposed, "small negative, large picture", was his motto, involving a small camera and an enlarger. The reasons told today are many, but that the Ur-Leica was designed as a compact means to test film stock is the most reliable. Or perhaps because he couldn't carry the traditional large plate cameras and wanted a smaller camera for him self.

He became the designer of the Ur-Leica which he made two (possibly three) samples of in the period 1912-1913 with the purpose to test film stock and/or lenses for movie films. Oskar Barnack was headhuntet from Carl Zeiss to be the manager of the Research & Development Department at Leitz. Without the usual heavy equipment, photographs of people no longer had to be confined to stiff conventionally artistic poses.
It was always instantly ready to capture life and action effortlessly from any angle with the photographer often able to remain unnoticed.
The Leica was extremely compact and could be fitted with a very high quality lens that enabled photographers to work in ordinary outdoor settings with available light.
