Who are the top three lens manufacturers in the world?

Carl zeiss Lens is a German brand and one of the few non-Japanese manufacturers.

Carl zeiss is a manufacturer of optical instruments with a long history. Its lens has always been synonymous with "nobility" in the field of traditional cameras, and many color lovers are proud of having Carl Zeiss lenses.

Sony has used Carl Zeiss lenses as a selling point on some of its digital cameras.

Carl zeiss lens has always enjoyed a high reputation in the industry, and it is called "Hawkeye" because of its ultra-clear imaging ability. Generally, only high-end cameras will be equipped with this lens.

Carl zeiss, an old German optical manufacturer, has a history of 100 years, and has produced one of the few high-quality lenses in the world.

Because of its unique color reproduction and imaging characteristics, photographers and enthusiasts all over the world can't put it down (but stay away from it because of its high price).

High resolution, excellent color reproduction and almost no corner distortion.

Faithfully provide high-quality photographic works.

Among them, the lens marked with red T * is a product that Carl Zeiss is proud of.

Friends who play SLR know that in Germany, the famous Zeiss and Leica are household names.

In the field of 135, there is Contex competing with Leica (the famous Contex uses carl zeiss), but in the field of 120, carl zeiss dominates the world: Hasselblad and Lulai both use carl zeiss lenses.

In the digital age, with the help of Zeiss, Sony, originally an optical amateur, has become one of the industry leaders in consuming digital cameras.

? Leica Lance is Leica.

Founded in 1849, by 23-year-old German mathematician Carl Chelner (Carl? Kellner) founded the "Optical Association" in Wezlar and started the research and development of lenses and microscopes.

At present, it is one of the most famous lens manufacturers in the world.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a small town called "Weizlar" in the midwest of Germany, which was located among the green hills. It has wooden buildings, ancient pagodas with different heights, narrow streets and quiet life. This area has been an important base of German precision optics industry since 12 century, and the world-famous Leeds (predecessor of Leica) company and Leica camera are beautiful here.

Oskar barnack, the inventor of Leica camera, was a talented mechanical engineer at that time, and he was also a photography enthusiast. The history of Leica cameras began when he was the research director of Leica. The street view of the town of Wezler, which was shot by Barnah with a prototype Leica camera in Dangjin (19 14), is still so clear, which is attributed to the excellent lens production.

The 20th century is coming to an end. For decades, the quality of Leica camera lenses has been well received by professional photographers and enthusiasts. Whether it is the early threaded lens or the current M and R series lenses, the models are excellent.

Schneider lens

As for Schneider lens, I believe many people have heard of its name, but few people are familiar with its history and even have some prejudice against it.

In fact, as one of the three famous lens manufacturing companies in Germany, it has a history of 100 years. Due to the dazzling aura of Zeiss and Leica, Schneider became unknown in the eyes of laymen. A large number of excellent brands have appeared in German traditional optical industry in the past century, but most of them were announced under the monopoly of Zeiss and Leica. Schneider is still alive with first-class design.

In the early stage of development, Schneider paid attention to tolerance and strong internal force. In the field of traditional cameras, he is famous for making large format landline and enlarger lens. The lens he produces can be called the king of mirrors in the landline, and the quality of the lens he produces is not lost to other famous European brands.

As for the cooperation with Kodak, it can be traced back to 1934 Kodak single-lens reflex camera Retina? Type? 1 17 premiered Schneider Xenar3.5/50 lens.

By 1969, Kodak SLR camera retina? The classic combination of S2 and Schneider Reomar2.8/45 lens appeared. About 50 Retina of Kodak Company use Schneider lenses, which are still collectors' favorite.

At present, most of our digital cameras in Kodak can see the Schneider-KREUZNACH logo, and Samsung, a famous traditional consumer electronics manufacturer in South Korea, also chose Schneider lens in its high-end V series products.

The main feature is bright colors, but it feels different from Fuji long lens and is sensitive to red.
