List some important names in the history of photography?
There are too many to list, and then, that would only prompt questions about who they are or why they are significant.

He worked for optical company Leitz ant thought the cameras of the time were too big and heavy, so he designed one to take offcuts of 35mm cine film - the LEItz CAmera - Leica.
