Oskar Barnack's Leica I of 1925 is the camera that established 35mm photography, and Leitz made 58,735 of them through to 1936. Of those, 56,548 carried the fixed, non-interchangeable collapsible 5cm f/3.5 Elmar, the combination catalogued as LEOMU; the earlier Anastigmat and Elmax lenses account for 857 cameras between them and the f/2.5 Hektor for 1,330. There is no rangefinder, focusing is by scale, and the black lacquered brass plates carry nickel-plated knobs.
