Footnotes
A limited edition of 1000 presentation outfits were produced in 2004 to mark the 125-year anniversary of the birth of Leica inventor Oskar Barnack, featuring a replica of the original Leica, the model O, and a print from a run of 100 of one of the test pictures Oskar Barnack took with his first 35mm cameras.
The model O is a replica of the Prototype 2 camera, of which only 20 were made in 1923. The cameras were developed as a second stage after the first concept, the Ur Leica, to test the market for such a product, and preceded the production-line Leica 1 cameras that launched the 35mm film format for still photography.
