The man behind every Leaf camera to date is Yossi Ben-shoshan. In 1992 he moved from Scitex America to their new acquisition, Leaf Systems Inc. There he was responsible for the Leaf DCB (Digital Camera Back), first shown at Photokina in 1992.
In 1996 he took the Leaf subsidiary home to Israel, to take advantage of in-house manufacturing facilities and the synergy between Leaf and the Input Systems Division in digital imaging acquisition and color processing. Yossi Ben-shoshan is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts in professional camera design. He is also a perfectionist.
