Tell me an interesting story about Leica - 2/2

I regenerated a response to the same question and this time the AI engine gave me the following answer:

“One interesting story about Leica is how the company got its start. The company was founded by Oscar Barnack, who was working as an engineer at a company that made movie cameras. Barnack saw the potential for small, portable cameras that could take high-quality photos, and set out to create such a camera. He developed a prototype for what would become the Leica, which was a small, lightweight camera with a high-quality lens.

The Leica was revolutionary at the time, as most cameras were large and cumbersome. The small size and high image quality of the Leica made it a hit with photographers, and the company quickly gained a reputation for producing top-quality cameras and lenses. Today, Leica is known as one of the most respected and coveted camera brands in the world.”
