Which technology is better, Leica or Zeiss?

Leica is like Jingdezhen (or other ancient kilns with a long history in China) ceramics, and Zeiss is like Japanese ceramics.

Do you think Jingdezhen's ceramic technology is high or Japan's ceramic technology is high?

In China, there are still a large number of China people who think Jingdezhen ceramics are the best in the world.

I will talk about this Leica and Zeiss issue in detail:

(My QQ pinyin input method, I don't know Leica, and I don't know anything about Leica, alas! )

First, Leica cameras, the most representative or purest Leica, are Leica M series cameras and M series lenses.

Other Leica people, many of them are not pure Leica people. Everyone should know this, right?

Second, so, when we talk about Leica, we can basically only talk about Leica's M system.

Third, then, what is the Leica M system?

First, Leica M system, in terms of the number of pixels, how many tens of thousands of pixels?

You can check it yourself.

B, Leica M system, now many people still use Leica in the movie era.

Now it's the digital age. Do you really have no idea how heavy Leica lenses are in the movie era?

Japan can't copy Leica's lens?

You have to understand that the camera lens is not really a high-tech thing.

Don't sanctify the camera lens.

Fourth, of course, optical technology is not just the technology of photographic lens.

Five, well, here is only the technology of photographic lens.

6. Speaking of the technology of photographic lens, let's talk about Zeiss and Leica first.

A, Leica's photographic lens, historically, is the ultimate optimization of 10- 12 inch photos.

Yes, the size is only 10- 12 inches, not 24 inches, not 48 inches, and it is even more impossible to optimize for the big screen of movies.

B, Zeiss's photographic lenses have many kinds and functions, which are much richer than Leica's.

It's simple. As we all know, in the film age, if you pursue image quality, you can't value Leica, because obviously, are Lulai and Hasselblad free? What lens did Lu Lai and Hasselblad use?

C. Why did Sony cooperate with Zeiss?

As the most powerful Japanese image manufacturer in electronic technology, Sony's choice has already explained the problem.

D, the world lens, it is said that they are all from Zeiss?

It seems that this is probably the case.

High-tech, high-tech, the most important thing is technical principles and technological innovation, not specific manufacturing.

Of course, there are some things you can't make, not your factory, but your technical principle and innovation, engineers and scientists, not workers.

At this age, why do you advocate the spirit of artisans?

You really don't know what craftsman spirit is?

Scientists are the most important, followed by engineers and craftsmen.

Of course, everyone is equal, and we should respect everyone.

However, who is the most important still cannot be changed.

What did you say?/Sorry?

Do we have to boast that our ceramic technology is the best in the world?

Wake up!

Leica and Zeiss are famous not only because they have a history of more than 100 years, but also because their optical products have good optical quality and have made breakthroughs in optical technology.

1846 carl zeiss, 30, founded a precision optical instrument processing factory (the predecessor of Zeiss) in Jena, Germany, and produced the first microscope in 1847. Since 1866, with the help of Ernst Abbe and Otto Short, great progress has been made in the field of microscope, and optical glass has been made. 1888 Zeiss began to set foot in photography

Zeiss has been producing optical products (code name BLC) for the Germans during World War II, including army and navy telescopes, rangefinders and shooting sights, as well as bombing sights used by the Air Force. The world-famous T coating has become an important scientific and technological secret of the German army, because the lens will not be exposed by reflection. Before the end of the war, the technology of Zeiss was targeted by the allied forces, and the talents of production and R&D were taken over by Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union respectively, and were split into Carl Zeiss AG and Carl Zeiss Jena Company. It was not until 1990 that Germany was unified that Zeiss became what we see today.

1849 Carl kellner, a 23-year-old mathematician, set up an optical research institute in Wezlar, Germany, mainly producing microscopes and camera lenses. This institute is the predecessor of Leica. Ernst Leitz, mechanical engineer, 1865 became the main partner of the institute, and obtained the right to operate 1869, and changed its name to Leitz Company.

19 13 oskar barnack, director of Lai Ci R&D department, created the legendary Ur. Ur is the prototype of Leica camera, which uses 35mm film from a movie camera, but changes the format to be twice as long as the movie format, making it 24x36mm. Ur became the world's first camera with 135 format, and its aspect ratio changed from 4:3 to 3:2.

1954, Leica released M3. Its cross-era design influenced the manufacture of most cameras in the next 50 years, including: the first mass-produced insert ring lens system, the first film loading lever, the first automatic parallax compensation and automatic frame line switching of the viewfinder, and the design atmosphere of the camera being turned on at 2: 3 left and right. The appearance of M3 has completely changed the future camera design trend, and many important features of M3 still remain in today's camera design. Leica originated from Lai Ci and cameras, and now Leica is no longer limited to cameras.

If you only compare Leica and Zeiss together, you are alone, and Nikon, Pentax, Minolta, Canon and so on are in the same queue. For example, in the1970s, Japanese SLR cameras were not only superior to Leica and Zeiss in price, but also superior in performance parameters, taking away a large number of market shares belonging to Leica and Zeiss.

The influence of economic globalization now digital camera products are divided into two camps: Nissan and German. Nissan cameras include portable digital cameras Digilux and D/V/V-Lunx series that Panasonic cooperates with. German-made cameras include the traditional M series, the APS-C TL series with interchangeable lenses, and the Quan Huafu SL series with interchangeable lenses. Under the lens of economic globalization, no matter Leica, Zeiss or other companies, all parts are no longer made in one country, but come from all over the world.

The technical contrast between Leica and Zeiss is a bit like a spear and shield. They have their own advantages and disadvantages and can only compare their own products. The great changes and images that Leica and Zeiss have brought to the times are indelible. They themselves have become an important part of mottled history, whether they can persist in 100 years or not.

I don't know how the above answer came from, but I obviously don't understand.

If you are asking about SLR, there is no doubt that Leica will hang up Zeiss because Zeiss doesn't do SLR at all.

But since you are asking about technology, let's refer to optical technology. Let me tell you this, the two are not in the same class. What I'm talking about is that the optical companies all over the world are not in the same class as Zeiss. Of course, they refer to the same type. You can't compare them with the lens.

Another thing to note is that making camera lenses is only a small branch of Zeiss, from Hubble telescope to microscope to glasses, and the latest Siemens instruments you saw in the hospital. Zeiss is a top supplier. Even the best Sony in Dafa has to hug Zeiss' thigh.

Of course, Leica is also very good. On the whole, Germany's optics are really good, and even the United States dare not support them.

These two are not comparable. Lycra mainly makes prisms, precision instruments and cameras. Zeiss makes camera lenses, microscopes and astronomical telescopes. The scope of business is actually very different. Zeiss's glasses are nice.

After reading the answers of the great gods, I couldn't help saying a few words.

This question has the meaning of provoking a war of words, just like asking Nikon or Canon. Suddenly I remembered the words of a photographer in Taiwan Province Province: "You gentlemen should be silent and let the photos speak."

The heads of these two companies are not the heads of consumption of the general public, but only a few. Of course, other people's positioning is also oriented to the "professional" crowd. In this era of national photography, the two companies have always insisted on manual operation, and this alone will lose more than half of potential consumers. Don't manufacturers understand? And the high price makes most ordinary photographers flinch. Of course, I don't mean whether I can afford it or not, but whether it is worth buying. Can you spend100000 to buy a set of photos taken by Leica to reach the level of Magnum Master? Not necessarily. Can I win an international prize for my painting if I spend 20 thousand to 30 thousand to buy a Cai stone? Not necessarily. However, for the same money, there are better choices and more ways to play. Why not?

As a lens user, the first consideration is whether this lens can meet their own shooting needs. Can I use Nikon or Canon's PTZ to meet my shooting needs? Is it necessary to spend several times more money to upgrade to Zeiss? Does the imaging difference between them directly affect their works?

It is too abstract to analyze which technology of two world-class lens manufacturers is stronger without looking at the works. At least spend money to compare their own works, so that we can have an intuitive feeling when we are watching.

To be responsible, it should be Lycra. I used Zeiss, and the difference is not small. Lycra's clarity and details are far better than Zeiss's.

Their shooting styles are different. Lycra has high saturation, bright colors, high definition and good humanization. Zeiss's scenery is very good, and there is no need for later shooting the blue sky and the sea. Strong resolution, high resolution.

Zeiss has a longer history. It can be seen from the entry "Ernst Abbe" in the picture (from Encyclopedia of Focus Photography, 1968, p. 1 page) that a German physicist and professor at the University of Jena 1866 joined Zeiss Optical Factory ... One of the core figures of Leica was Barnah, who took advantage of the convenience of widely producing films at that time.
