Good ideas come out ahead. The best example of this: the first successful 35mm camera integrating a rangefinder coupled with interchangeable, screw-mount lenses in the body of the Leica., which was invented by Oskar Barnack 100 years ago – and that opened up completely new perspectives for photographers. It was the first revolution, with Leica changing photography forever.
