Leica R System Leica Rsystem The analog-digital system Made to measure for perfectionists In order to create outstanding images, photographersnot only need to sense theright moment, they also need to have theright tool that functions as accura- tely and creatively as they do. Leica single lens reflex(SLR) cameras are precision instruments that earned their legendaryreputation with their uncompromisingly high quality standards. Each Leica camerais individually craftedbyexperienced hands, withgreat dedication and meticulous care, creating timeless masterpieces that have extraordinary value retention. The Leica Rsystemcombines superior,traditional optical and instrument-making experience withthe most modern manufacturing technology and exquisitefabrication know-howthat made theSolms companyworld-famous. In order to provide devoted photographerswithevengreater latitude and flexibility in thefuture, Leica CameraAGhas nowtaken another dramatic step forward by introducing theveryfirst modular digital component for a35mm camera. 2/3 Quality meets flexibility The newLEICADIGITAL-MODUL-R enables youtomakethe decision spontaneously whether to create your photographs withanalog or digital technology and thankstothe accustomed high performance of Leica optics, youcan be confident of achieving thebest possible results in everysituation. And regard- less of theanalog or digital approach, youhave that very special joy of working withacamerathat is unique through and through. With its mechanical precision, innovativeoptics and sophisticated electronics, theSLR system is predestined to implement your ideas at thehighest possible photographic level. Intelligent technology provides youwith absolutecontrol of your work.Byfocusing thelens manually,the photographer positions theplane of sharpness. Using theremarkably bright viewfinder,heorshe also coordinates thedepth of field and the cropping. The gratifying results are brilliant pictures, even under the most difficult light conditions –accurately controlled by automatic features or manually controlled by thephotographer.And nowthe digit- al capability of theLEICAR9isjust as unique and just as technically refined. Aperfect symbiosis of stable value retention and newflexibility in digital imagestorage and communication. Perfect interplay The fascination of thename Leica is rootedas much in thesuperb mechanisms of thecameraasitisinthe proverbial precision and quality of its legendarylenses. And withthe LEICAR9 too, theentire spectrum of Rlenses developed since 1965 comes into play, enhanced by our latest designs in thefields of wide-angle and zoom lenses. Asystemthat makes it easy for youtocreatefascinating photographs and whose quality nowbenefits youeminently in the digital realm. As is thecase in analog photography, high imaging per- formance is also required in digital photography. The great strengthof Leica lenses is evidenced by their extraordinaryquality reserves, which ensure theverybest results, even in enlargements of cropped portions of digital images. Because of various unique technical refinements, thestrengths of these high performance lenses also come intoplay advantageously in digital applications. The protectivefilter in front of thesensor,for example, wasdesigned to be as thin as possible, and theacceptance angle of thesensor,which is smaller than that of the conventional film frame, has been taken intoaccount by means of appropriateshifts of themicro-lenses in front of thepixels. Agreat omen for all those who are eager to explore classic as well newpossi- bilities in photography. 4/5 “The Leica Rsystemrepresents theverybest optical quality and great creativefreedom. The LEICADIGITAL-MODUL-R provides entirely newperspectives for all thephoto-enthusiasts who liketo work withgreat flexibility,but also demand theassurance of the highest quality standards. ALeica Rcameraisanabsolutepreci- sion instrument that also satisfies these objectivedemands in the digital realm.” Ralf Coenen, Chief ExecutiveOfficer,Leica CameraAG Analog or digital ?Inthe future, there will be only one answer. Film :Achoice foradvancing film TheLEICAR9isthe core of asuperbly refined camerasystem. When youwork withfilm, thecameracan be customized by selecting one of anumber of different film advance devices :the extremely com- pact and quietmanual film advance, or theinconspicuous LEICAMOTOR-WINDER R9, or theprofessional LEICAMOTOR- DRIVE R9 (shown on theleft). Youeven have achoice of colorsfor your camera: discreetblack or elegant anthracite. The exposureisprecise Accurateexposure metering and control are prerequisites for successful photo- graphs. The LEICAR9features selective, integral as well as sophisticated multi- patternexposure metering whose level can be changed at anytime by tenths of a step. The result :optimal harmonization withthe various types of films. Metered value storagecan be used withselective and integral metering. The selected shut- terspeed and aperture combination is automatically stored when theshutter release button is pressed to thesecond pressure point. The various exposure modes enhance flexibility,quickness and notleast, your creativefreedom. Lenses of the very bestkind Thanks to its Rbayonet, theLEICAR9is compatible withvirtually all Rlenses made since 1965. All current Leica Rlenses are equipped withanROM module, which establishes specific communication be- tween cameraand lens, leading to perfect exposures. 6/7 Seeing more With thehigh-eyepoint viewfinder you no longer need to press your eye against theeyecup in order to see theimage clearly all theway intoits corners. And all theimportant parameters are dis- playedoptimally in theviewfinder :Shutter speed, aperture, operating mode, exposure metering mode and theexposure counter. An important feature for time exposures : An integrated shutter prevents light from reaching thefilm through theeyepiece. Eyeglass wearerswill be especially pleased withthe dioptercompensation range from –2 to +2 in half steps, enabling the photographer to focus and expose withor without using theeyeglasses. Digital :Simplyexcellent TheLEICADIGITAL-MODUL-R can be at- tached to theLEICAR9withasimple hand motion, thus transforming it intoafull- function digitalSLR camera. During the development phase, special attention was paid to optimal imagequality.You simply decide whether analog or digital photo- graphyisbest for theapplication.

  • 645AFD Instruction Manual Companion for Digital Photography
    Mamiya 645 AFD Instruction Manual Companion for Digital Photography Mamiya 645 AFD Instruction Manual Companion for Digital Photography Congratulations on your purchase of the Mamiya 645AFD. To make the transition from film to digital easier, we are including this digital companion that explains all of the new indicators you will see on the LCDs of your Mamiya 645AFD. Please read the owner’s manual before reading this companion. Because the Mamiya 645AFD was made to communicate with digital camera backs, these indicators will inform you of the status of the communications between your Mamiya 645AFD and digital camera back. If you do not have a digital back, these indicators will not appear and you do not have to read any further. There are three basic modes that your Mamiya 645 AFD goes through when taking a digital image. First is the Normal or pre-capture mode. The camera is in this mode before the shutter is released. While in this mode the camera virtually acts as if there were a film magazine attached. Shutter speeds and apertures are displayed on the internal and external LCD displays. The second mode is after the shutter release button has been pressed. This is the Capture mode. At this time the Mamiya 645 AFD will start to act very differently when a digital back is attached. There is a whole new set of indicators that will be displayed on the LCD displays of the camera. The After Capture mode is the third and final mode. Again, in this mode there are new indicators that will appear on the camera’s LCD displays.

  • Digital High Resolution Still Video Camera Versus Film- Based Camera in Photogrammetric Industrial Metrology
    International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Vol. 30, Part 1, pp. 114-121. DIGITAL HIGH RESOLUTION STILL VIDEO CAMERA VERSUS FILM- BASED CAMERA IN PHOTOGRAMMETRIC INDUSTRIAL METROLOGY Thomas P. Kersten and Hans-Gerd Maas Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH-Hoenggerberg, CH-8093 Zurich, Switzerland Phone: +41 1 633 3287, Fax: +41 1 633 1101, e-mail: [email protected] Phone: +41 1 633 3058, Fax: +41 1 633 1101, e-mail: [email protected] ISPRS Commission I, Working Group 3 KEY WORDS: close-range photogrammetry, high resolution, still video ABSTRACT In this paper a digital high resolution still video camera DCS200 and a conventional film-based small format camera Leica R5 are compared. The image data used for the comparison were acquired during several pilot projects in a shipyard. The goal was the determination of 3-D co-ordinates of object points, which were signalised with retro- reflective targets, for dimensional checking and control in the ship building industry, as well as to test the suitability of the cameras for these applications. The image point measurements in the photos taken by the film-based camera were performed on an analytical plotter, while the digital image data were processed semi-automatically with digital photogrammetric methods. In addition, some of the analogue images were scanned and then also processed with digital photogrammetric methods. The results of simultaneous camera calibrations and 3-D point positioning are given, showing its accuracy potential, which turned out to be in the range of 1: 50,000 and 1: 75,000 for the DCS200 and up to 1: 27,000 for the Leica.

  • 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.

  • 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.
