Leica Camera PHILOSOPHY “Passion and Perfection for creating better images” Leica takes pride in being the best, being unique, being legendary. Leica is timeless, classic and superior. Minimalist design achieved without compromising on quality. The chosen camera for many professionals. Leica is renowned for producing prestigious yet unobtrusive cameras. By buying into Leica, you become part of the elite. The Leica Brand Leica are prestigious in three main markets. • Leica GeoSystems • Leica Microsystems • Leica Camera Leica GeoSystems primarily produce top-market industrial digital spatial analysis hardware and are best known for their brilliant accuracy. Leica Microsystems is a leading global designer and producer of innovative high-tech precision optics systems for the analysis of microstructures. They are best known for their award-winning medical equipment. Finally, Leica Camera focuses on the design and production of cameras and other optical equipment for professional use. This shall be the focus of our discussion today: 1849 - Optician and mathematician Carl Kellner founds an optical institution for the development of lenses and microscopes in Wetzlar, West Germany. 1907 - Binocular production begins under management of Max Berek. 1914 - The Ur-Leica is created by Oskar Barnack. 1923 - Prototypes of a small-format 35mm camera named the "Null-Series" are produced for test purposes. 1925 - The new LEICA A is presented at the Spring Trade Fair in Leipzig. 1,000 cameras were produced in the first year alone. 1926 - The first small-format 35mm projector is launched under the name of ULEJA. 1932 - The LEICA II is made available for the first time. The 100,000th model is manufactured. 1934 - The LEICA 250, dubbed the “Reporter”, becomes the preferred device used by the German air force. 1963 - New development in LEICA Trinovid binoculars, featuring elegant slim line design and added features. 1971 - The LEICA M5 is the first rangefinder camera in the world with selective light measurement. 1973 - The LEICA CL is launched as a compact rangefinder camera. A new factory in Portugal starts operation. 1976 - The LEICA R3 is the first electronic Leica. 1989 - Leica’s first compact camera AF-C1 is launched. This marks production of more affordable cameras. 1990 - Companies Wild Leitz and Cambridge Instruments join to form Leica Microsystems. 1994 - The first digitally controlled Leica, the R7 and the first Leica spotting scope, Leica Televid are introduced. 1998 - The LEICA DIGILUX is launched - the first digital Leica compact camera. 2001 - Leica collaborates with Panasonic to produce the first LUMIX cameras, DMC-LC5 and DMC-F7. 2006 - Leica introduces the digital rangefinder camera LEICA M8. Panasonic and Leica Due to Leica products being so professional, the brand ran into financial problems and was forced to enter a broader consumer market. Leica joined forces with Panasonic in 2001, and created a sub brand Lumix; combining advanced Panasonic camera technology with remarkable Leica lenses. The prices start at just over £100 for a basic compact camera, and range to over £1000 for a digital SLR. The compact cameras are very popular, and compete only with Canon to be best on the market. The more expensive SLR cameras are still aimed towards professional use, and are excellent cameras, but not quite as legendary as the Leica. Product Identity The Leica cameras have a strong product identity making them a very iconic brand • Majority are silver with a black band of synthetic leather and the iconic red logo. • Form is also similar throughout its range – the rectangular shape was originally modelled on the shape of a camera film, which is also why the lenses are in the same place as well, even though films are no longer used. • Very high end products, mostly aimed at professionals and rich enthusiasts – This is due to the very high quality of manufacture and hand assembly methods. Also when customers buy this product they pay for the name and the prestige that comes with it. • The camera lenses are the best that are available on the market. Marketing The first Leica store was opened in Berlin in June 2006. Four Stores in Moscow, Tokyo, Paris and Mayfair were opened between May and October 2009, and West Palm Beach, Florida looks to be next. Marketing Leica cameras are not readily available. They cannot be bought from the Leica website, but only from registered dealers, of which there are few. However, there is a huge second hand market online where Leica cameras can be bought for a much reduced price. Marketing Leica very rarely advertises aside from the promotional pictures found on the website, and only a handful of video adverts have been produced. Instead Leica relies on word of mouth, hype and its general legendary status to sell its cameras. If you buy a Leica camera, you already know your reasons for doing so. your point of view.

Without technical competence, museums are dull, uninteresting places. Loving something you know very little about, is also dull, and inconsiderate. So I decided to explain Leica’s design for those who wish to get to know more about its history. I am not so worried to face lack of technical background among readers because Leica fans have been self enthused to know more about opto-me- chanics. In future volumes, I hope to cover Leica lenses, the SLRs, and accessories. This book will take you a bit farther than prior art to appreciate the Leica design with more passion. If you look at history of invention, you may find it rather cruel: Most of what we create is treated like foot prints on a shore, waiting for quick waves to wash them away.

  • LEICA SUPER ELMAR-M 21Mm F/3.4 ASPH. LEICA APO-SUMMICRON
    LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-MSUPER ELMAR-M 21mm 50 mm f/3.4 f/2 ASPH. ASPH. 1 More than 30 years after the launch of Summicron-M 1:2/50 mm, which is still available, the Leica APO Summicron-M 1:2/50 mm ASPH. represents a totally new development. With its compact body - only marginally longer and slightly heavier than the Summicron-M 1:2/50 mm, and with an almost identical diameter, it provides visibly higher image quality. On the Leica APO Summicron-M 1:2/50 mm ASPH. the exceptional correction enables all aberrations to be reduced to a minimum level that is negli- gible in digital photography. Its key features include excellent contrast rendition, all the way to the corners of the image, even with a fully open aperture. The use of a „floating element“ ensures that this is retained, even for close-up shots. Vignetting is limited to a maximum - i.e. in the corners of the image - of just 2 stops at full aperture in 35 mm format, or around 1 on the Leica M8 mo- dels. Stopping down to 2.8 visibly reduces this light deterioration towards the edge of the image, with practically only the natural vignetting remaining. Distortion is very low at a maximum of just 0.4 % (pin cushoin), which is practically imperceptible. A total of eight lens elements are used to achieve this exceptional performance. To realize the apochromatic correction (resulting in a com- mon focusing plane for three light wavelengths), three are made of glass types with high anomalous partial color dispersion, while two of the others have a high refractive index.

The focus of Leica’s appearance at photokina 2018 in Cologne is not only set on the extremely diverse product portfolio of the traditional manufacturer from Wetzlar, but also on the Leitz Park itself. At Leica, everything has always revolved around the picture, the school of visualisation, the history of photography, the vibrancy of photographic culture and the people behind the cameras – in other words, DAS WESENTLICHE. Since the opening of the Leitz Park complex on 15 June 2018, all this is now a visible and tangible experience. In the open-plan, newly conceived Leica stand in Hall 2.2, visitors can find information and comprehensive advice about the broad spectrum of Leica products and services for all photographic applications and scenarios. The demonstration area has now been split into thematic areas to provide easier orientation for professionals, amateurs and other visitors interested in particular Leica products or services. While the ‘Professional’ area concentrates on the Leica S and its lenses and products from Sinar Photography, the ‘Systems’ area focuses on the Leica SL, the Leica M and the APS-C cameras of the Leica CL and Leica TL systems – and, of course, the full range of corresponding Leica precision lenses. The ‘Compact’ area is dedicated to the Leica Q, Leica D-Lux, Leica V-Lux, Leica X-U and Leica C-Lux cameras and the Leica Sofort instant picture camera.

  • Testo Di Giuseppe Ciccarella
    Testo di Giuseppe Ciccarella 45 milioni di Euro, costo stimato per il progetto da completare entro il 2010, in una grande area vicino al bosco, sulla vecchia durch B 49, in direzione di Wetzlar-Dutenhofen, dietro la ex Spilburgkaserne; una vecchia caserma per l©addestramento militare. Con il forte sostegno del Ministro Hessian Roland Koch che ha presieduto la cerimonia del 29 novembre 2007, per l©avvio ai lavori del Leitz-Park. Sono stati circa 250 gli invitati all©evento, per il quale sono intervenuti i rappresentanti degli investitori e le autorità della città. L©inaugurazione quindi del primo scavo per il progetto presentato, che entro la fine del 2010 sarà completato. Titolare è la Leitz GmbH, una consociata del programma Socrates-Holding GmbH, con sede a Salisburgo. La Socrates Holding, a sua volta, è una consociata di ACM, società proprietaria della Leica Camera AG con sede a Solms. Nella nuova società Leitz GmbH, oltre alla VIAOPTIC GmbH confluiranno la società di costruzione di Uwe Weller Feinwerktechnik GmbH e la Leica Camera AG. La VIAOPTIC GmbH ingrandirà i reparti di produzione dagli attuali 2.000 metri quadri ad oltre 4.500. Un grande plauso va, al meticoloso fervore del Dr. Andres Kaufmann (terzo da sinistra nella foto), a tutte e tre le società coinvolte, che sono giuridicamente ed economicamente indipendenti e al loro impegno finanziario. VIAOPTIC GmbH vede in questa operazione, una grande opportunità di lavorare su più prospettive e progetti, attuati con successo in Germania, con lo scopo importante di preservare posti di lavoro qualificati e stimolarne di nuovi.

  • FAQ LEICA SF 58 April 2009 En
    FAQ LEICA SF 58 Status April 2009 System compatibility – Is it possible to use the LEICA SF 58 flash unit with all Leica system cameras? Compatible in TTL flash mode with: • M-System: LEICA M6 TTL, LEICA M7, LEICA M8, LEICA M8.2 • R-System: LEICA R8, LEICA R9 (analog) • S-System: LEICA S2 Compatible in automatic or manual flash mode with all Leica System Cameras with hot shoe and x- contact Why using a secondary reflector? The LEICA SF 58 is ideal for indirect lighting due to its high flash guide number (max. 58 at ISO100/21°). The secondary reflector retains a bright illumination, creates highlights, lightens up shadows, and delivers vivid colors. White balance adjustment The LEICA SF 58 has a color temperature of 5600K. Best photographic results are achieved by a camera white balance setting of “automatic” or “flash”. What kinds of batteries are recommended? Rechargeable batteries: • NiCd (1,2V), NiMH (1,2V) Batteries: • Lithium (1,5V), Alkaline-Manganese (1,5V) Why the battery symbol is not displayed constanty? The battery symbol is meant as a capacity warning and therefore only appears when the battery capacity will end soon.
