Leica Elmar 50mm f/3.5 With Black & Bhite Films Review
The Birth of the Standard Lens The Ur-Leica, created in 1914, served as the precursor to the first line of cameras that used film in the 24 x 36mm format.

LEICA 50mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX E43 Black & White Film

LEICA 21mm f/3.4 LEITZ SUPER-ANGULON REVIEW
The Leica Super-Angulon 21mm design was originally developed by Schneider and later brought to Leitz.
