Barnack is an interactive platform that teaches users about the inner workings of cameras and how the different parameters affect depth of field, hyperfocal distance, and field of view. It was named after Oscar Barnack (1879-1936), the inventor of the UR-Leica, the first camera to use the 24x36 mm format.
Barnack is a program that provides an interactive platform for learning about the intrinsic camera parameters and their effect on the depth of field, the hyperfocal distance, field of view, et cetera.
It is named after Oscar Barnack (1879-1936) who designed the first camera using the 24x36 mm format for German microscope manufacturer Leitz in 1913. This camera was coined the "UR-Leica" and is today widely recognised as the precursor to all 35 mm film cameras.
