I did think Steve when you said Job, but he's not got a museum dedicated to him, although the house where he built his first computer has just been declared an historic landmark. Back to the drawing board with this, so to speak. Edited by: rustyruth at:1st November 2013 23:09 |

Go back to Ken's 'George Eastman' as there is a definite link although not obvious... John was also close i his reference to Eastman. |

| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 10:11 on 2nd November 2013 That's the man Ken, well done sir. Oskar Barnack suffered from asthma so invented a lighter smaller camera using 35mm cine film instead of carrying around the more cumbersome instruments they had then. He worked for LEItz CAmera Co and that is where the famous name LEICA comes from. The first Leica was introduced in 1925 |
