Toronto<\/strong>. When 35mm movie film ‘ends’ were common, various cameras using the ends were sold, but failed to gain traction – until a century ago when a little German camera from a optical house specializing in microscopes introduced the Leica and the saying “small negative, big picture<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Until that time, for the most part a camera size would be chosen so the negative could be contact printed to see the final positive image. A decade later minicams and enlargers had taken off and photography was for ever changed.<\/p>\n

Recently we received an email from Jos\u00e9 Manuel Serrano Esparza in Madrid, Spain. In the email, \u00a0Jos\u00e9 says in part, “The reason to send you this email is because a few weeks ago, Alexander Sedlak (Managing Director of Leica Camera Austria and Leica Camera Classics) and Dennis Iwaskiewicz (Head of Sales of Leica Camera Classics), two world-class experts on analogue Leica cameras, lenses and accessories, as well as featuring many years of experience in this highly specialized scope, imparted a milestone lecture at the Leica Store Madrid (Spain), presenting the upcoming 47th Leitz Photographica Auction<\/a>, which will be held on November 22, 2025 inside the Imperial Hotel in Vienna<\/strong> (Austria), as gold brooch of the Leica Centenary Celebration, and will be highly probably the most important one ever celebrated in the world.”<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 offered the following link to a blog that Heinz Richter posted in late September titled, “PRESENTATION OF THE 47TH LEICA AUCTION CLASSIC VIENNA AT THE LEICA STORE MADRID (SPAIN)<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

The auction is in Vienna this coming Saturday. It’s also on line if a trip is out of the question.<\/p>\n
