My life with the leica walther benserWalther Benser“After six years at secondary school my ambition was to do something in the movies; instead I ended up as a tech- nical/commercial apprentice with Leitz in Wetzlar. The year was 1929 and who knows, if I had not had the opportunity of talking to Oskar Barnack, I might not have stayed. He inspired me with enthusiasm for the new Leica and its promising future. In this book I have recorded my subsequent 60 years of enjoyment with the Leica.” Personalities around the Leica such as Ernst Leitz II, Oskar Barnack, Henri Dumur, Paul Wolfi', Heinrich Stockler and Julius Behnke come to life again through Walther Benser’s tales and recollections and are presented to us in a new light.
