Knowing that the early days of modern photography are just the beginning, the team work tirelessly to develop the technology. Accordingly, in 1932 the Leica II isn’t just a worthy successor to its forerunner in general – it becomes the first Leica with a built-in rangefinder. This gives the Leica II, with its “two eyes”, a new and distinctive look that’s often imitated. Above all, the “automatic focusing”, as it was billed at the time, works faster and offers a better success rate.
