Introduction to m9 Price Evaluation of Leica Camera Quotation

Indeed, compared with well-known camera brands such as Canon and Sony, Leica's popularity seems to be slightly inferior, but as long as professionals know, Leica's position in the industry is not bad, and the product quotation is not inferior at all. In addition, the excellent performance of a series of classic models of Leica cameras has successfully won the favor of consumers and become a product admired by professionals. What I bring to you today is the quotation evaluation content of Leica M9.

I. Leica M9 quotation

In 2009, it released a brand-new Quan Huafu paraxial camera M9, which continued the classic modeling of Leica M-series cameras with little change in appearance. Its body adopts Quan Huafu CCD sensor KAF- 18500, which is 23.935.8mm developed by Kodak, and the pixel 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 current quotation is 48,000 yuan (price source network, for reference only).

Second, the evaluation of Leica M9

Since Leica M3 of 1954, Leica has adopted the golden ratio design of height: length = 1: 0.6 18. The M9 still follows Leica's fine tradition in shape design, with the body size of 1393780mm, supported by solid aluminum-magnesium alloy, and the exquisite and elegant body weight is only 560g.

The body of M9 is thicker than Leica M7, MP and other films. Although Leica membrane users will feel a little uncomfortable at first, objectively speaking, M9 gives users an excellent grip.

Speaking of Leica, we have to mention an old man, and he is Bresson. Many documentary photographers in China believe that at the beginning of contact photography, they have accepted the image of this old man and are attracted by his decisive instant charm. He just used a Leica camera. Many famous documentary photographers in China, such as Ceng Huang and Suri, are also big fans of Leica cameras. Lightweight shutter, solid body and the high-quality charm of Leica lens are the highlights that attract people into its embrace.

When it comes to the performance of Leica M9, its 24mmx36mm Quan Huafu image sensor is the first to bear the brunt. At this point, Leica users no longer need to calculate the focal length through the lens conversion coefficient. Real 35mm lens, 35mm viewing angle. This Quan Huafu image sensor with 6.5438+0.85 million effective pixels can improve the image quality faster than simple pixel improvement. No matter the advantages of image details, depth of field control and sensitivity performance, extraordinary progress has been made.

Linkage ranging system is the most famous and important device in Leica M series. It is also a remarkable feature that Leica M series is different from SLR cameras. The focus baseline of paraxial camera is much better than that of SLR camera. The advantages of innate design make the focusing accuracy of Leica M series better than that of SLR cameras. Of course, this is only limited to the lens below 135 mm, and the focusing process of the linkage ranging system: the incident light ranging window is projected on the framed flat glass, and an overlapping image is formed through a rectangular hole for focusing. The light and the right prism form a second overlapping image combination. When the ranging is accurate, two overlapping images are projected on the rectangular aperture at the same angle. The two images in the viewfinder are completely superimposed together, and the focus is completed at this time. It seems complicated, and if you are familiar with it, it will be used quickly.

As a paraxial camera, Leica M9 seems to be inferior to the popular SLR digital camera in film quality and performance, but in fact, its excellent parameters and the evaluation information of several models by actual users reveal the excellent cost performance and quality advantages of Leica M9. In addition, its light and thin body makes the camera easy to carry, which is convenient for everyone to record in daily life or when traveling. It can be said that it is a product designed and considered from the user's point of view.
