Leica camera encyclopedia business card

The famous Lycra camera is produced by German Lai Ci Company. It is famous for its reasonable structure, excellent technology and reliable quality. From the 1920s to 1950s, Germany has always been the camera kingdom of the world. Lycra camera was also a famous brand camera produced by all countries in the world at that time, and enjoyed a high reputation in the world.

Lycra is not a camera that ordinary people can afford. The price of Lycra camera made by Panasonic has increased several times. Lycra camera is the smallest professional camera produced today, but its weight is not light. You can see that the thickness of Lycra camera can only be destroyed by a hammer.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Leica cameras

Leica camera has developed two types of cameras and three types of cameras. At the same time, G series 1G, 2G and 3G cameras are modified and developed. Among them, only 15 was produced for 2G cameras, and these 15 cameras were not sold in the market and had no independent numbers. Therefore, Lycra 2G camera has become a boutique sought after by collectors. 1954 M series started production, which is an improvement of G series. Up to now, Lycra M series is still producing new products. Lycra camera is characterized by its durability and good performance, so it has become the first choice for military cameras. During World War II, Lycra camera became an important tool for military journalists at that time. Unlike civilian Leica cameras, military Leica cameras usually have a K letter after the number. Lycra military cameras are generally white, black, dark gray and grass green. To this day, Leica cameras are still the best in the camera collection.

Edit the fame of this paragraph.

One of the most famous camera brands in the world. From the birth of the first camera to the present, there may be many famous brands in the history of camera development, even in our lives. However, in the history of camera development, for users, choosing a certain brand of camera is not choosing that camera, but choosing a lifestyle. Such brands are rare. The famous German Lycra is such a brand. Leica series cameras are almost a myth, with the same face for half a century, extremely simple functions and uncompromising production. They are in the top position where everyone wants to subvert, but no one succeeds. Its advantages and disadvantages are endless, so that as long as Lycra is mentioned, the scene will be lively. Well said, full of emotion, not so good, but also specious. Leica camera

It is said that in Britain, some gentlemen don't take pictures, and they often wear lycra as a status symbol. Japan is a big camera producer, but it has the largest number of Lycra fans in the world. In Leica, there are many myths, sometimes losing some sense of reality. It can be said that Lycra has already surpassed the status of tools and risen to a cultural phenomenon. Carrying culture is an honor and a burden for Lycra. Lycra has the strangest and most stubborn fans in the world. Other camera lovers are waiting for new functions and styles, but Lycra fans, changing a small turntable, all think it is sudden death. Lycra camera is undoubtedly the most exquisite camera in today's production process, but Lycra's exquisiteness has always been its own exquisiteness, not for users to see. If usability conflicts with Lycra's exquisite principle, Lycra will generally not give in to users. No camera in the world is perfect. The shortcomings of Lycra do not mean that there are no problems with other cameras, but the choice of manufacturers or the views of users are different. The unsatisfactory parts of Lycra can be overcome, and the height it can reach is beyond the reach of other cameras. Please take Leica off the altar, it is still the best camera. The high price is the brand symbol of Leica, accompanied by exquisite production and profound culture-every Leica camera can accompany us through life. Just like an old gentleman who has collected Leica cameras for many years, he always gets out of bed in the middle of the night, takes out his Leica camera, gently presses the shutter, and falls asleep peacefully after hearing the recognizable click of metal parts in the dark ... The story about Leica is often exciting, and its charm and spirituality have become the dream of many people. However, Lycra is the most valuable of all cameras. Lycra bought 50 years ago, if sold at the original price 50 years later, it will definitely be robbed. This is the courage of Leica. The legend of Lycra and the feel of Lycra have been rendered dreamy. However, the touch of a threaded camera is not scary. It's a pleasure to turn to Lycra's lens or fiddle with the film, but taking a good photo is the last word. Lycra is first and foremost an excellent camera. Leica M6 is the pinnacle of mechanical camera manufacturing, and few electronic components are only responsible for metering. "The battery is unnecessary", which enables Leica M6 to maintain its efficiency continuously. Lycra M6 can work at temperatures of minus 25 degrees Celsius or above 60 degrees Celsius. Leica is not a universal camera, but it is a leader in its field of expertise. Choosing Lycra or not choosing Lycra is a question of taste, needs, culture and hobbies. Both reasons can be used, and either reason will involve a lot of philosophical thinking.

Now Leica cameras have entered the digital age, and Leica M8 and M9 are among them. Leica M8 is a digital paraxial camera. Appearance, absolutely retro, M8 magnesium-aluminum alloy body, feel good, the back of the fuselage uses a 2.5-inch 230,000-pixel LCD screen, the display effect is not said. This camera adopts 1.33X CCD photosensitive element,103000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 pixels wide, and the lens holder is compatible with Leica M bayonet lens produced by Kodak/kloc-0. For M series lenses without 6-bit coding, the bayonet magnification is equivalent to 1.33 times of the focal length of 35mm film camera. The lenses you can choose are basically expensive and sweaty. Shutter speed 1/8000 seconds -32 seconds, B door: 4- 1/8000 seconds, the highest sensitivity is ISO 2500, and the fuselage does not have anti-shake function. Storage supports SD/SDHC card, and the battery comes standard with 3.7VDC/ 1900mAh lithium battery. M9 continues the classic modeling of Lycra M series cameras, with little change in appearance. Its fuselage adopts Quan Huafu CCD sensor KAF- 18500 with 23.9 x 35.8mm developed by Kodak, and the number of pixels reaches18.2 million. The design of the peripheral microlens of the sensor is similar to that of the M8 sensor (the peripheral microlens is biased to the center of the sensor, which can obtain better peripheral imaging performance). Dual image processors are used. The compatibility of Leica M9 lens is exactly the same as M8. All 2 1-90mm focusing lenses (digital or non-digital) released after 1954 can be supported, and other 135mm interchangeable lenses can also be supported through the adapter ring. Like M8, M9 doesn't have a low-pass filter, but Leica officials claim that M9 doesn't need an additional filter to solve the color cast problem. At the same time, TTL side lights are also supported. There is no analog counter similar to M8 on the top of M9, and a 2.5-inch LCD screen is used on the back of M9. The sensitivity range of this machine is ISO 160-2500, and Lycra will provide it with new noise reduction technology to improve its high sensitivity performance.

Edit the characteristics of this shot.

Lycra camera pioneered the 35mm camera since 19 13, and the matching lens is refreshing. Lycra lenses are works of art in terms of materials, machining, optical design and polishing. Its imaging quality and color reproduction make most photographers amazed. I have a special liking for every shot of Lycra, and I have a desire to take them all for myself, and then 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. Leica camera

Lycra's 35mm lens is produced by 1930. At that time, Lycra produced a revolutionary camera-Model C Lycra, which was equipped with three lenses, besides 50mmF3.5Elmar and 135mm F4.5 Elmar, there was also a 35mm F3.5 Elmar lens. This is what I know. Leica has produced the earliest lens with a focal length of 35mm. The optical structure of this lens is 3 groups and 4 lenses. There are 2 lenses with independent structure in front of the diaphragm blade and 2 lenses glued together behind the diaphragm blade, which are not coated. When shooting black and white film with this lens, the resolution and tone level are good in side light, and a large aperture is used in backlight to produce a larger halo. After the aperture is reduced, the situation changes, but the halo cannot be completely ruled out. I feel that the color saturation is not enough when shooting color films. With the increase of exposure, the color saturation increases, but the color is not bright enough, which may be related to the lack of film on the lens. 1948, Lycra introduced 35mm F3.5 Summaron lens with four groups of six lenses. The first two groups of lenses of 1 are independent structures, and the second two groups of lenses of 1 are independent structures, and the front and rear groups are symmetrical, which laid a foundation for the evolution of Lycra's 35mm lens in the future. I tried a single-layer coated lens (M-port) made in 1950s. It still inherits the traditional charm of Lycra lens when shooting black and white film. When using color film, color reproduction is the same as modern lens, except for a little halo when backlighting, and other aspects are impeccable. With the development of photography technology, especially the demand for documentary news, the lens is developing towards a large amount of light, and the maximum relative aperture is getting bigger and bigger. In order to follow the trend, Leica made two kinds of lenses with different apertures in 1958. I have used these two heads for many years, and I am very satisfied with their image quality. They are my favorite things. One of these two lenses is a 35mm F2.8 Summaron lens, whose structure is exactly the same as that of 35mm F3.5 Summaron, except that the maximum relative aperture is increased from F3.5 to F2.8. No matter whether black-and-white film or color film is used, the quality of photos taken by this lens is first-class, showing more prominent shadows in the dark, properly controlling highlights and being handy to use. Another lens produced in the same year was 35mm F2 Summicron, which was deified by photography. It consists of 6 groups of 8 lenses. The front and rear groups of lenses are symmetrical. The four lenses in the front group have/kloc-0 cemented lenses and two independent lenses, and the rear group is the same as the front group. The maximum relative aperture of the lens is F2, and the edge imaging quality will not be very good when the aperture is fully open. In order to improve the edge imaging quality of large aperture, a lens made of fluorite glass is added before and after the aperture blade, which improves the edge imaging quality of the lens, expands the expression range of dark and bright parts of the image, obviously increases the sense of space and depth of the picture, makes the picture more stereoscopic and enhances the artistic appeal. This shot is highly praised by Japanese filmmakers, who call it "Eight Jade". Although this lens has been well received by many parties, its manufacturing process is complicated, its cost is high and its popularity is poor. Personally, it is the best 35mm lens in the world at present, and no lens can surpass its quality. Due to the long history of production, there are still some defects in film adding and deformation correction. Due to the high cost of six groups of eight lenses, in order to popularize the lenses with aperture F2, Lycra Company redesigned and produced four groups of six 35mm F2 Summicron lenses of new 1969. The structure is symmetrical, and the optical structure is the same as Summaron's aperture F3.5 The trial shows that the contrast between black and white tones is somewhat enhanced, the levels of dark parts and highlights are somewhat weakened, the resolution is average, and the overall taste is Lycra lens. Perhaps because people missed eight shots, Leica redesigned a 35mm F2 Summicron lens at 1979, with seven shots and five groups. From the structural point of view, it is very similar to the first four groups of six lenses, except that 1 lens is added to the rear lens group, so that the first three groups of 1 lens are independent lenses and the two lenses are glued. The posterior group has two independent lenses, 1 cemented lenses. The performance of this kind of lens in the dark and bright parts of the picture is obviously different from that of the six-structure lens, and the overall quality is close to that of the eight-structure lens and six groups. This product is very popular with photographers and has been produced for nearly 20 years. 1997, the 35mm F2 Summicron ASPH aspheric lens has replaced the spherical lens 7 and five groups of aperture F2 lenses, which is a brand-new product. The sharpness of this lens is enhanced, the color reproduction is somewhat exaggerated compared with the previous Lycra lens, and the color saturation is obviously enhanced, giving people a bright and sharp feeling, which meets the aesthetic requirements of modern people.

There are still three lenses to mention here, namely, the 35mm f 196 1 Summicron lens, which is specially designed for journalists. It is the 35mm lens with the largest relative aperture in the world at present, if high-speed film is used again. You can do a lot of work in dim light without the help of a flash. The image taken by this lens is sharp, which is very suitable for plate-making printing, but it feels that the tone level is slightly insufficient. 1990, Leica also produced 35mm F 1.4 Summicron ASPH aspheric lens. This lens uses two aspherical lenses, and the overall structure is five groups of nine lenses. This kind of lens is very few, and I have never used it. There is also a 35mm F 1.4 Summicron ASPH aspheric lens, which was introduced by 1994 and has been produced until now. His optical structure is still five groups of nine lenses, but the back group has 1 aspheric lens. I think it's the sharpest lens in Lycra's 35mm lens. The photographed image has neat edges and clear lines. When shooting at the maximum relative aperture, the image edge can still maintain good resolution, good color reproduction, high saturation and exaggerated color. Very popular among professional photographers. The quality of a shot can't just be judged by its test index. Index is a mechanical standard, which can only explain part of the performance of the product. In particular, the photographic lens, a tool to reproduce the photographer's mind, contains rich cultural connotations, and the image quality shot by Lycra lens is the embodiment of the combination of European traditional culture and modern concepts. We should fully understand the characteristics of Lycra lens used in our hands, give full play to its potential, and create more and more beautiful pictures of the new era.

The characteristics of Leica camera's durability and good performance were fully reflected during the Second World War. Lycra became the first choice for military cameras and was an important tool for military journalists at that time. Journalists rush about in battlefields with harsh environments all over the world, and a lightweight and sturdy Leica 135 camera has become their favorite. Leica camera

Moreover, HenriCartierBresson, a 96-year-old French photographer, was the first photographer in the world to use Lycra 35mm camera. He used the special "observation window" of Leica camera and accurate prediction scheme to capture the climax of people's continuous action when the incident occurred. Lycra camera originated in Germany, and the Germanic national character gave it a rigorous style, which lasted for a long time. So another function of Leica camera lies in its collection value. According to collectors of Lycra, each camera of Lycra has a separate number, which has been continuous since the first one, which is of great collection value and is "Rolls Royce in the camera kingdom".
