Why are Leica cameras so expensive?

Leica cameras are expensive because they are handmade in Germany.

Leica Cameras Among the professional cameras produced today, you can see that the thickness of Leica fuselage material can only be destroyed by touching it with a hammer. Its characteristics are reasonable structure, excellent processing and reliable quality.

From the 1920s to 1950s, Germany has always been the camera kingdom of the world. On March 20th18th12nd, Leica Series 0 cameras were exhibited in Vienna, Austria.

This camera with the serial number 122 was produced in 1923, and it is one of the 25 cameras produced in this series. Finally, it was sold for a record 2.4 million euros.

Leica camera pioneered the 35mm camera since 19 13, and the matching lens is refreshing. Leica lenses are works of art in terms of materials, processing, optical design and polishing.

Its imaging quality and color reproduction make most photographers amazed. I have a special liking for every lens of Leica, and I have a desire to take them all for myself and then take them quickly.

35mm lens is called quasi-standard lens, and its viewing angle is about 64, so it is the most commonly used lens. People often joke that this lens is a standard lens and a wide-angle lens of the subject.

Because its viewing angle is not too large, the edge deformation is relatively small, and the depth of field is larger than other lenses with the same aperture longer than 35mm, it is very practical to take some photos of documentary themes, scenery and few people.

Since the lens with this focal length came out, various lens manufacturers in the world have made great efforts to develop a variety of such lenses. Its long production history and great structural changes are incomparable to most other focal length lenses.
