Leica is a German optics and camera manufacturer founded in 1869 by Ernst Leitz in Wetzlar, Germany, taking over the Optical Institute originally established by Carl Kellner in 1849. Engineer Oskar Barnack built the first 35mm prototype at Leitz in 1913, and Ernst Leitz II greenlit production of the Leica I in 1924, the camera that established 35mm as the standard format for photojournalism. The name combines LEItz and CAmera. Leica returned its headquarters to Wetzlar's Leitz Park campus in 2014 and continues to hand-assemble M-series rangefinders there. Supreme collaborated with Leica on a co-branded D-Lux 7 compact camera.
