Leonar was the brand name for cameras and photographic material made by the Leonar-Werke Arndt & Löwengard in Wandsbek near Hamburg, Germany from 1907 onwards. Before that it was called Dr. Lüttke & Arndt. In the 1910s the Leonar cameras were equipped with Leonar or Ibso shutters and Leonar Extra Rapid Aplanat or Leonar Doppel-Anastigmat lenses. In 1964 the company was incorporated into the German Agfa AG.
