Thank you so much!

P.S. Any chance of a dubbed/subtitled version?

Thanks, very interesting film.

I loved seeing the old B&W films with minor details like what lens cap came with the lenses then and so on.

Did any one notice the name "Oskar Barnak" in the photo-album and spelt without the "c" in it?

And what was that music at the beginning? And why or where have I heard it before?

Anyone?

Anyway, thanks again fr the link.

Regards, David

Sounds like a Leica advertising jingle. Used for radio commercials I guess. Musically it sounds very 1930s - very similar in style to those military marches and songs from that era you often hear in third reich documentaries.

Found it here at full length by the way:

Thanks again.
