- - Leica Photographers
Our involvement with the modern picture was distinctively 
shown at the photokina 2000 where the works of Bryan Adams, 
Claudine Doury, Claus Bjorn Larsen, Maik Scharfscheer, Pall 
Steffansson and Adolf Zika were presented.
In the new area "Leica Photographers" we will be showing an
ever growing number of photographers who hold on to the 
21st century with their strong, innovative and fascinating
pictures. In addition to the above mentioned photographers,
the young German photographers Boris Potschka and Oliver
Brachat can be found in this area.

Boris Potschka, with his brilliant colors, fascinates in especially
the Indian subcontinent, which he was able to capture during 
seven photographic journeys. The pictures can be seen in the 
Leica Gallery Solms, November 2001, and can now be seen
on the web:

Oliver Brachat has mastered an unusual way of photographing 
ordinary foods. His pictures are examples of the top optical
performances that the lenses of the Leica R-System have
to offer. His pictures on the web:

- - Interim Report December 31,2000

Camera AG showed an increase in turnover by 16.4% to 233.2Mio.DM.
