What lens manufacturers are there in the world?

1, carl zeiss lens

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.

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.

2.lycra lens

CarlKellner, a 23-year-old German mathematician, was founded in 1849. He founded the "Optical Society" 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.

3. 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.

Therefore, Schneider has become 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.

Lens characteristics

Main lens

Fixed focus lens, as the name implies, has no zoom function. The design of fixed-focus lens is much simpler than that of zoom lens, but the general zoom lens will affect the imaging when zooming. The biggest advantage of fixed-focus lens compared with zoom machine is its fast focusing speed and stable imaging quality.

Many digital cameras with fixed-focus lenses have clear and stable images of moving objects, very accurate focusing, delicate pictures, very slight graininess and relatively accurate metering.

standard lens

Standard lens: Take the interchangeable lens suitable for 35 mm SLR camera as an example. The standard lens usually refers to a photographic lens with a focal length of 40 to 55 mm, which is the most basic photographic lens among all lenses.

The standard lens gives people a vivid visual effect picture, so it is often used in actual shooting.

On the other hand, because the picture effect of standard lens is very similar to the visual effect of human eyes, the picture effect taken with standard lens is very ordinary, even very "plain", so it is difficult to obtain the artistic effect of rendering the picture like wide-angle lens or telephoto lens.
