Yet in all this criticism one fact is getting lost these days, the fact that already in 1996 Leica introduced a high resolution digital camera, the Leica S1.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">We must remember that this was at a time when 2 to 3MP digital cameras that took pictures of questionable quality were the norm, the days when film photography was still way ahead of digital and when the Leica M6 was the best 35mm film camera money could buy. In view of this, it is all the more amazing that the Leica S1 offered a resolution of 26 megapixels, something that even by today’s standards is quite high.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img height="475" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Si5wdr6MaKE/UpOuX2dreaI/AAAAAAAAEaU/P4Y7sVPW1rM/s640/leica-s1-lens.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">How could this be possible? At that time, resolution levels of this magnitude could only be achieved with so called scanning backs. Instead of taking the entire image instantly, as is the norm today, the Leica S1 (as well as other, similar digital cameras at the time) scanned the image line by line. Unfortunately this resulted in exposure times of about 185 seconds. Subsequently the camera was only useful for stationary objects.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The camera was designed to capture square 36 x 36mm images using 35mm lenses. Though designed for use with Leica R-series lenses, Leica also offered lens mounts for Nikon, Contax, Canon FD, and Minolta lenses as well as for medium-format optics from Hasselblad and the Pentax 6x7. There was also a Novoflex adapter that allowed the use of large-format lenses from Rodenstock & Schneider, and a tilt-shift adapter for use with Hasselblad lenses.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TLpJfwBKWXU/UpOuUjhw6YI/AAAAAAAAEZ8/2hH5Rem-9KA/s1600/01222010_165002-_IGP0064-450x329.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Leica S1 with Leica R mount<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The S1 could also be coupled to the rear of a view camera to take advantage of tilt, swing, and shift movements which further increased the overall versatility of the camera.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The ISO setting for the S1 was ISO 50, the D-max about 3.3, and the image files contained a dynamic range of 11 stops. At 300 dpi you could produce incredibly sharp 17 x 17" prints without having to interpolate the image, which in 1996 was almost unheard of.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CQk-h61eskI/UpOuWN5N2QI/AAAAAAAAEaI/hOJxdsRL_fc/s640/leica-s1-side.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Leica S1 Side View<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OrR4jpK_nfM/UpOuUWKdE4I/AAAAAAAAEZ0/Vw4R-H0oCRg/s640/leica-s1-back.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Leica S1 Viewfinder<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Included with the Leica S1 was a 55mm IRa filter, LaserSoft High Software, a PCI card (PC or Mac), and a 20' cable. As for system requirements, the S1 ran off of PowerMacs (7.55 or higher), or Pentium PCs (Windows 95 or higher) with a minimum of 256MB of RAM, a hard drive of at least 1GB, and Photoshop 3.05 or higher.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KcXUmwUS4vw/UpOuUvCR_kI/AAAAAAAAEZ4/UZh-hJLnhhg/s640/Leica_S1_640w.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">All that could be had for the price of $21,500. Needless to say, the camera did not set any sales records. It was mostly sold to museums and research institutions. It is interesting to note that this level of performance was not available again from Leica until the introduction of the Leica S2 in 2008.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Considering the shortcomings in terms of short exposure capabilities, the question is if scanning backs are still a viable choice in these days of digital instant capture systems with up to 150 megapixels. The answer is ‘yes’. When it comes to optimum resolution, and when instant capture is not necessary, scanning backs still offer the highest resolution, highest color fidelity and highest color accuracy.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Sinarback eXact black" height="640" src="https://sinar.swiss/assets/Uploads/Sinarback-eXact-black.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Here too we can look to Leica or to their latest acquisition, Sinar of Switzerland. Among the many items offered by them is the Sinarback eXact with a maximum resolution of 192 megapixels. With the eXact back Sinar uses a different approach to common scanning backs. It can be used as an instant capture back with a resolution of 48 megapixels. But it can also simulate a scanning back by taking 4 separate exposures in RGB and black for an effective total resolution of 192 megapixels and the color accuracy of a scanning back.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Are there any other means to achieve a super high resolution? The answer is yes. The Leica SL 2 camera offers a feature, not unlike a scanning system.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">With the help of <span style="box-sizing: border-box;">sensor-shift technology,</span> the camera can capture up to eight images in sequence in multishot mode on a tripod, with the sensor shifting in half-pixel increments between each shot. The results provide users with images that are of <span style="box-sizing: border-box;">extremely high resolution, up to 187 MP.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black;

It also helps to number the frames consecutively. This allows you to </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">practice</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> the described double exposure procedure.

The contrast of what is in focus has increased, giving the impression that the lens is much sharper.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The sense of micro details you can touch and feel (when in focus) is extreme. The clarity of colors is almost better than what you see with the eye (which only the 90mm APO and a few others perform). The out-of-focus areas have become smooth and silky - as much as you would think is possible for a Noctilux lens. Maybe almost too nice and silky.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><img alt="Textile of details you can touch." src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/sfdXULaJGyx_6J3EY_p3AkoMaY0uubFw-imkw-ja1zgsh78o080AttzadQuAzTrPe1PeWIbHyFpTiOMmWAPuf5TcwtIRlVOL5UKCdCrRT8ZlsE4P8XnkSideH5pR8xBGlscZ=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /> <img alt="Silky out-of-focus areas" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/1ujr1RNbfUmocjXbpxJHH3sYVuQZHBujTm_hf_CADrcq6_wBxvS06sbrfMTQWIKu3MfzluvuJtoBf4HMqi8Hk55gYWspeu8SoGRmRzrLMlnbj7rpPS9Zvz3dj8I99KeNbeuZ=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span> Textile of details you can touch.

It makes you immediately think, "When does the next 50mm Noctilux come out?" (which is not promised or even rumored to happen). Most likely, a 35mm Noctilux is due next, then maybe in some years, a newly updated design of the 50mm Noctilux.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The demand on the user of this lens is how to work with the out-of-focus areas that have become eventless in the sense that they are smoky soft without sharp edges, as well as less contrasty than the in-focus areas of the frame. The 75mm Noctilux has become a civilized version of the 50mm Noctilux. A 50mm APO on steroids.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><img height="329" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/f_caUH-5hf5mxbG-5xeojRqlUzdPoDsLhN4opkv3O5k99xXj3PhNDpxWmhv-qGjxJJm47Y_VnxdDDXSHu7ymuqbILAsWqlNb7RKoiFVSw--C2yBwkHcm_T1pfabwSOqHGx323UO7DNjOpg=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: large;">King of the Night</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Noctilux means "light of the night"</span></b><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> [from Latin 'nocturnus' of the night, and 'lux' light]. The Noctilux surpasses the speed of the human eye somewhat four times (which can see as wide as f/2.1 in the dark and f/8.3 in bright daylight).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Originally, when the first Noctilux lens was introduced in 1966, it was at a time where the race was about how to make a really fast lens that would be able to photograph in the dark with 100 ISO or 400 ISO film. Today we have 6400 ISO commonly on cameras, so even a f/2.8 lens could work for low light.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">But with the wide open aperture comes the extremely narrow focus, and with that a dreamy bokeh (the shape and visual quality of the out-of-focus areas). But also a lens that balances so much on what is physically possible that it becomes a lens with which to create art. A lens that has such a different take on handling light that it opens up a world of new possibilities to make the everyday look like a fantasy.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Leica M10 with Leica 75mm Noctilux-M ASPH f/1.25. © 2018 Thorsten von Overgaard." height="640" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/uJbugAQstKoVvrh49ZoTUqv18rWi6i-o35oKFZavpSW3Yz5aAuMi2iCUTW97MZWfAKjM-1dA8AI9QF1wjNRqf3xUx0wqPBt7oESgNDqCq_5N5LjyV591LNsxCOTNUGnYWv_y=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="454" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><b><a href="http://overgaard.dk/Leica-M10-digital-rangefinder-camera-page-00-Expect-Simplicity.html" style="color: cyan; text-decoration-line: none;">Leica M10</a></b> with Leica 75mm Noctilux-M ASPH f/1.25.FLE</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">© 2018 Thorsten von Overgaard.<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: large;">Size</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img alt="The 75mm Noctilux is 1 mm larger in diameter compoared to the 50mm Noctilux." src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/LI5cq5x_c_YYNiIG_lpGnCWncFyLnyvtsgOtDhG7H_7F7NeDKxV7peur4PSRtIh9KnjKU_g9woO6kZGbXrggDg1x4uuC8oL7FJmdRcqfECjw4rucx5zltqm5ifJOZ0g2UpWc=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The 75mm Noctilux is 1 mm larger in diameter </span><br /><span style="text-align: left;">compared to the 50mm Noctilux.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The Noctilux looks far larger in photos than it is in the hand, or on the camera. The same goes with the weight. Going from a 50mm Noctilux to the 75mm Noctilux is not a large step, though you do check your camera strap an extra time to make sure it's safe.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">If you notice, the 75mm Noctilux uses 67mm filters, whereas the 50mm Noctilux uses 60mm filters. If you study the front of the two lenses, you'll realize that the tube is slimmer on the 75mm: That alone accounts for 5-6mm of the 7mm difference in filter size between the two.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It also means that filters are so far out from the 75mm lens opening that the filter frame doesn't influence the corners of the photo.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The "hole through" of a 50mm Noctilux f/0.95 is 53mm, and the "hole through" in a 75mm Noctilux at f/1.25 is 60mm in diameter.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Overall, it's a remarkable masterpiece that the lens designers have managed to pack that much glass and wide open aperture inside a barrel that measures just 1mm more in diameter (the 75mm Noctilux lens barrel is 74mm and the f/0.95 Noctilux is 73mm in diameter).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Leica M is a very compact lens design in any regard. Comparatively, the Leica 75mm Summicron-SL f/2.0 is 73mm in diameter, despite the fact that it's a 1.5 stop slower lens than the 75mm Noctilux. The Leica 35mm Summilux-TL f/1.4 is 70mm in diameter for a lens where the "hole through" is only 25mm.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><img alt="DADS KAD De Ville.

You need contrasty lines and edges to match in the rangefinder. It just isn't possible to match something that isn't there to see, such as for example a dark edge on a dark surface.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Leica M10 with Leica 75mm Noctilux-M ASPH f/1.25. © 2018 Thorsten von Overgaard." height="426" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/4rx3r7qf2aWxvJ4leWoE6Ei_HWtz-kBlXbLVYNVZ4hKXWxIyI_lxMgAp4d24nndPbg5TWxPmiEpbxAM17rfULA1L8CVbF8KtDbj-2sZGhq04c4VcSdgHt3AV8acE-xISvC8dHGo=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><b><a href="http://overgaard.dk/Leica-M10-digital-rangefinder-camera-page-00-Expect-Simplicity.html" style="color: cyan; text-decoration-line: none;">Leica M10</a></b> with Leica 75mm Noctilux-M ASPH f/1.25 FLE </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">© 2018 Thorsten von Overgaard.<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The secret sauce to focusing with a rangefinder is: be sloppy!

But you just need one that is in focus, and that's why you may take a few to make sure you get it. Don't think that it's supposed to always work with just one single photo, and that if you can't do that, you have failed the test to enter the Leica Cult.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Here's how it works: You put on the EVF to get a Live View of the scene, and as you focus, the EVF 10X's the view so you can really nail the focus. Then you take the picture. Ah, this is the way to make sure you don't mess up this focusing thing, you think.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">What do you know?

Who cares what's going on in the corners of the lens when all you want is selective focus on the main subject, and as much bokeh and out-of-focus for the rest?</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Yet, the 75mm Noctilux boasts an even performance across the full field, to even "the most extreme corners" of the image field. While it might not be visible very often, it sets a standard for the lens. The designer has taken such extreme care to control all factors that it is not just the center of the lens that is great, but all of the lens.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Leica M10 with Leica 75mm Noctilux-M ASPH f/1.25. © 2018 Thorsten von Overgaard." height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/D7h5AAUb9VtQ40DI2qiw8ZXgjP_tjiZM6SF0iZ2NNUV1XlcFgRY-Y0SZSxl5hX58n4f5zUOqOkZaNac_ATZ-3aeUOdrXHoG0u3OcLyZ4bJBUpLk0EZbJKXmF4zhuEp_gcQf5=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="477" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><b><a href="http://overgaard.dk/Leica-M10-digital-rangefinder-camera-page-00-Expect-Simplicity.html" style="color: cyan; text-decoration-line: none;">Leica M10</a></b> with Leica 75mm Noctilux-M ASPH f/1.25 FLE </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">© 2018 Thorsten von Overgaard.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">When we talk f/1.25, that's quite an accomplishment. An f/1.25 lens is not just twice as hard to control in optical design as an f/2.0, it's ten to twenty times more difficult.

Back behind the camera, we actually couldn't care less, because the aim for the photos made with a f/1.25 lens is to break the laws of physics.

So, no matter if you buy the 28mm f/1.4, the f/2.0 or the f/2.8, you get the same image quality.

When on a walkabout in sunshine, you also encounter shade, and you want as fast exposure as possible in the shade. 200 ISO works well with the "f/3.4" of the lens in sunshine, and it prevents slow shutter speeds when working in the shade.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">On a normal day the M10 with this setup will be 1/4000 in sunshine and 1/250 - 1/750 in shade.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Getting darker ND filters than 3-stop and 4-stop is a bad idea.

Particularly in older lenses with less or no coating of the glass surfaces to suppress this, it can be a really cool effect. In newer lens designs, the coatings and overall design try to suppress flare and any reflections to a degree, so that there is seldom any flare to be picked up (moving the lens to pick up a strong sunbeam), but instead a "milking out" (or "ghosting") of a circular area of the frame; meaning simply overexposed without any flare-looking flares.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/3jtm9KW6bA94QdyV5wj7Ov4YH_AqcO5AsbNI5qjIkRAYmyplJPTMQmGo0GD2iZSqx750oqJxDGPNAZbk4QdV1p0VwPM3sz58XVrhhZaV2NBG9Pmc33vaBD2OtH9FpgPNAR_x=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>Sunlight creating flare in the bottom right quadrant of the image.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/ilLp3sQW4x-WZgk2JZiHEoJVg-3EN7zAEria9KiQbeBC1v3wURQJkys3WwB8pDodbdK8B_ORLfdzCdwRsbIHiCyJnqgTrmnm9yGgpENa7-bWor8-aJPBcq9ruDuqTdTt5b-H=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">The camera moved slightly to avoid the flare.<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Mel's Drive-In on Sunset Boulevard.

color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">At the beginning of the 1960s half frame cameras became quite popular.</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">They used one half of the standard 24 x 36mm full frame to take 18 x 24mm frames, thus doubling the number of pictures that could be taken on one roll of film.</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Leitz/Leica had offered the half frame Leica 72, based on one of their previous screw mount cameras, but they were all surpassed with the introduction of the Leica M3.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black;

font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It also became obvious that SLR cameras became ever more popular, which prompted Leitz/Leica to introduce the Leicaflex. A very little known fact is that Leitz/Leica also developed a half frame Leicaflex, the Leicaflex 18 x 24 along with a specially designed 35mm Summicron f/2 lens.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The camera was of a rather unique design by Helmut Müller. It proved to be different from all other Leicas at that time, featuring a rotating shutter, with mechanics similar to those of the Olympus Pen F camera. This prototype, the only one ever completed, dates to 1962. However, the project was stopped in 1967 because sales of half frame cameras had begun to slow down considerably.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white;

It is used in the manufacture of photographic lenses, digital sensors, camera viewfinders, SLR mirrors, filters, negative carriers in enlargers, condensers in enlargers and projectors, slide mounts, and more. As a matter of fact, photography, as we know it today, would not be possible without glass.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The manufacture of glass was already known to the Egyptians about 3000 BC and was further perfected by the Phoenicians who are credited with the invention of the glass blowpipe. During Roman times, glass making was elevated to an art form. Especially the manufacture of highly decorated small glass vessels (fondi d’oro) became very popular. This culminated in the 13th century in Venice with the manufacture of highly artistic glass items. Yet even in the 16th century, glass, even window glass, was considered to be a luxury item. It was also in the 16th century that the first glass lenses appeared in the camera obscura, which was a major step in the development of photography.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="400" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Glass_amphoriskoi_BM_MME1887.01-08.3_4.jpg/800px-Glass_amphoriskoi_BM_MME1887.01-08.3_4.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="320" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Roman glass vessels</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">According to the dictionary, “glass is a hard, brittle, transparent or translucent, greenish solid solution made by melting a mixture of silica (sand) and various silicates” like soda, borates, phosphates and potash, with metallic oxides added to give the product special properties. Colorless glass is obtained by adding manganese, which neutralizes traces of iron in the sand. Different tints are obtained by adding various metallic oxides. For instance, gold and copper will result in a red color, manganese violet, cobalt blue, iron and chromium green.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Depending on the composition, some glass will melt at temperatures as low as 500° C (900° F), others melt only at 1650° C (3180° F). After careful preparation and measurement, the raw materials are mixed and undergo initial fusion before being subjected to the full heat needed to turn the matter into glass, called vitrification. In the past, melting was done in clay pots heated in wood or coal-burning furnaces. Pots of fireclay, holding from 0.5 to 1.5 metric tons of glass, are still used when relatively small amounts of glass are needed for handworking. In modern glass plants, most glass is melted in large tank furnaces, first introduced in 1872. They can hold more than 1000 metric tons of glass and are heated by gas, oil, or electricity. The glass batch is fed continuously into an opening (doghouse) at one end of the tank, and the melted, refined, and conditioned glass is drawn out the other end. In long forehearths, or holding chambers, the molten glass is brought to the correct working temperature, and the mass is then delivered to the forming machines.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The above described methods are useful for the manufacture of all but optical glass. The manufacture of optical glass is a delicate and exacting operation. The raw materials must be of the highest purity, and it takes great care to prevent imperfections to be introduced. Small air bubbles and residual unvitrified matter will cause distortions in a lens. Striae, the streaks caused by incomplete chemical homogeneity in the glass, will also cause serious distortion, and strains in glass caused by improper annealing will further impair optical qualities.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Annealing is a process of heat treatment by which glass is rendered less brittle and more resistant to fracture. Annealing minimizes internal defects in the atomic structure of the glass and leaves it free from internal stresses that might otherwise be present because of prior processing steps.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Glass is annealed by heating it to high temperatures and then cooling it slowly. Large masses of glass are cooled within the heating furnace. Sheets are usually annealed in a continuous-process furnace. They are carried on a moving table through a long chamber in which the temperature is carefully graded from initial heat just below the softening point to that of room temperature at the end. The annealing time varies widely according to the thickness of the individual piece. Window glass, for example, requires several hours, plate glass, several days, and glass mirrors for reflecting telescopes as well as certain glasses for photographic lenses several months.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Optical glass was originally melted in pots for prolonged periods, during which it was constantly stirred by a refractory rod. After lengthy annealing, the glass was broken into pieces. The best fragments were further reduced, reheated, and pressed into the desired forms. In recent years a method has been adopted for the continuous manufacture of glass in platinum-lined tanks, using platinum-lined stirrers in the cylindrical end chambers (or homogenizers). This process produces greater quantities of optical glass that are cheaper and superior to glass produced by the earlier method.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YtDH1bvEED0/T4Mqava4ggI/AAAAAAAAAdk/ILhLruHq2Mo/s400/Glass+Lab003.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Platinum crucible</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hSLr4rP1S5Q/T4MqQFYXzMI/AAAAAAAAAdU/9-tectfqleM/s400/Glass+Lab001.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Stirring rod</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ZV-DLIdEdg/T4MqW384-VI/AAAAAAAAAdc/rROAlMtAUDU/s400/Glass+Lab002.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Pouring of molten glass</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The principal specifications for optical glasses are its light bending power, or refractive index, for different wavelengths or colors of light and its dispersion, the difference in refractive index for certain wavelengths. All of us have seen dispersion of light in form of a rainbow from light shining through a prism and being separated in the spectral colors. Dispersion is one of the most difficult problems to deal with in designing photographic lenses. Dispersion will introduce chromatic aberration which, when not controlled, will lead to poor sharpness and loss of detail. The best optical glasses available today display very high refractive indices with relatively low dispersion. Within the last twenty years some glass manufacturers have succeeded in producing glasses with a peculiar property called anomalous partial dispersion, first pioneered by Leitz in the early 1970s. Such glasses provide the lens designer with new and powerful means to improve the color correction of chromatic aberrations of camera lenses. Prior to the availability of glasses with anomalous partial dispersion some manufacturers used calcium fluorite crystals for the manufacture of lens elements in telephoto lenses. Especially Canon was making wide use of this. Other manufacturers, however, do not regard them a suitable for photographic lenses because they have very poor shape retention and because their refractive index is only ne1.43. Because of this relatively low refractive index, lens elements made of calcium fluorite require very strong curvatures. This has the disadvantage of increasing spherical aberration and causing substantially more surface reflections.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aliUbz_92DU/T4Mr42IWuWI/AAAAAAAAAds/_O3epYTd68c/s640/Glass+Lab004.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aq_mtwK2SHA/T4MsIP6Et-I/AAAAAAAAAd0/AVLm4h5FZCM/s640/Glass+Lab005.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Lens aberrations, all of which require different lens elements made from different types </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">of glasses to be corrected</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The atlas of optical glasses shows the refractive index and dispersion of many of today’s glasses. The vertical axis shows the refractive index for a wavelength of 546 nm while the horizontal axis shows the Abbe number (for Professor E. Abbe of Zeiss), or the relative reciprocal dispersion of the glass. This is a comparison between the refraction of the glass for yellow/green light in the center of the visible spectrum and the difference between its refraction for blue/violet and deep red light. Please note that these dispersion values are reciprocals: The higher the Abbe number, the less dispersion. Sometimes optical engineers need high dispersion numbers, sometimes low ones, to balance the characteristics of different optical glasses in order to produce a high degree of image correction.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="528" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lo-IPekIFpA/T0uIKXonsYI/AAAAAAAAAIE/Jq_vHSnk14M/s640/Continent+of+Optical+Glasses.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">The large circled dots indicate glasses used in Leica lenses, the small circled dots indicate Leica glasses not currently in use.

The Leitz Elmar 50mm f/3.5 from 1926 used SK15 glass with a refractive index of ne1.625, this increased to ne1.694 with LaK9 glass in 1953 with the Summicron 50mm f/2. In the 1969 Summicron the refractive index had grown to ne1.7479 with LaFN2 glass and the special 900403 glass developed for the 1976 Noctilux 50mm f/1 increased the refractive index to ne1.9005 which, to my knowledge, is the highest refractive index for any glass used for photographic production lenses. Leitz uses a proprietary number to avoid divulging the make-up of this glass.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It was a long, arduous journey to arrive at the modern glasses at the disposal of today’s lens designers. Glasses with a relatively high refractive index were available even prior to W.W.II. However, this could only be achieved by the addition of thorium oxide to the glass. Thorium oxide unfortunately is highly radioactive, and lens designers began to search for a suitable replacement. One of the problems encountered was that by replacing the thorium oxide with a variety of other elements, the glass turned opaque. Kodak had some limited success during W.W.II. They were able to make a thorium oxide free glass with similar properties, but it was yellow in color. This glass, however, was used to make lenses for some aerial cameras. Since these were used exclusively with b&w films, the “built-in” yellow filtering actually was found to be beneficial for this specific use.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">At the Leitz glass research laboratory similar experiments started in 1949. After lengthy experimentation they found that lanthanum oxide offered the best chance for success as a replacement for thorium oxide. They found that glasses could be made with a refractive index of ne1.7. However, these glasses could not be made in large quantities because they tended to crystallize. This makes it difficult to prevent crystal grooves, or striae. Other substances like zirconium oxide, yttrium oxide and tantalum oxide had to be added to produce more stable high refractive glasses in large numbers. The resulting LaK9 glass resulted in the 50mm f/2 Summicron in 1953, the first production lens free of thorium oxide. Leitz granted the German Schott company a license to produce the LaK9 glass.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">For lenses with a maximum aperture of f/1.4 glasses with a refractive index close to ne1.8 are necessary. However, these are difficult to produce. Evaporation at the surface of the molten glass, while the temperature is slowly lowered, can easily cause striae. These can only be prevented by constant stirring to produce consistent blending of the molten glass. This requires additional steps, so that one oxide will prevent another from crystallizing. These methods, for instance, have enabled Leica to use glasses with refractive indices of ne1.80 and ne1.82 and a dispersion value of ny45. For glasses with refractive indices higher than ne1.8 it is difficult to obtain enough chemicals with sufficient purity at a reasonable cost. Subsequently such glasses are very expensive.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The glass developed by Leitz for the 50mm f/1 Noctilux is such a glass. It uses a much higher zirconium oxide content, which allows for a refractive index of ne1.9005 and a dispersion value of ny40. These glasses have a very high melting point of 1600° C (2912° F). At such high temperatures molecular migration of the material used for the crucibles can contaminate the glass mixture. To prevent this, crucibles of platinum or at least platinum lined crucibles are used. The stirring tools also have to be made either of platinum or must be platinum coated. In addition, the shape of the stirring tools in relation to the viscosity of the molten glass is very important for the homogenization of the glass. The temperature of the melt in the crucible has to be lowered considerably before it can be poured out. Then the poured slabs have to be cooled at a carefully controlled rate, which may last days or even months in order to prevent molecular tension.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4nZbZuiNP2g/V4PaqBt499I/AAAAAAAAH4U/ohDYe1FBB2QOEHiC-LptLjDbBBAeMq0rACLcB/s1600/L1030911%2BCrop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: cyan; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4nZbZuiNP2g/V4PaqBt499I/AAAAAAAAH4U/ohDYe1FBB2QOEHiC-LptLjDbBBAeMq0rACLcB/s640/L1030911%2BCrop.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Modern lens grinding machine at Leica Camera AG in Wetzlar. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For ultimate precision and accuracy, these machines grind one lens element at a time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Photo: M.

Instead they prefer a true glass with an amorphous structure. It was discovered that fluorites remained stable in metaphosphate suspensions. By incorporating several fluorites, it is possible to optimize the proportions to avoid the creation of striae during the cooling process. This eventually led to the development of a true glass with anomalous partial dispersion and a refractive index of greater than ne1.544. With the addition of titanium oxide Leitz was able to produce a glass with an anomalous partial dispersion value of ny66.6 and a refractive index of ne1.544. This glass was used in the 180mm f/3.4 Apo Telyt R, originally developed for the U.S. Navy, which to this day ranks as one of the best lenses ever produced for a 35mm camera. Many of the large glass manufacturers have little interest in the manufacture of such exotic glasses because optical glass is only of minor importance to them. Construction glasses, bottles etc. are the main income generators. When these companies develop optical glasses, they will do it only for those which will be in high demand. It is the exotic wishes of companies like Leica, Zeiss, Schneider, Rodenstock, Nikon, Canon etc. that these glasses were developed in recent years.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Leitz used to operate their own glass research lab in Wetzlar. However, in the late 1980s this proved to be economically no longer feasible and the lab closed. Since then Leica has been buying optical glasses on the open market from manufacturers like Schott and Hoya. These companies, prinmarily Schott, also make the proprietary glasses for Leica. However, that does not mean that these glasses are available to other manufacturers. These are exclusively made for Leica and their chemical composition remains a closely guarded secret.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The next time we complain about the high prices of some of the top lenses on the market, we should remember the difficulties encountered in just the manufacture of the glass. Add to that the great care which has to go into the production of the individual glass elements and the mechanical components of the lens, and the prices somehow don’t seem to be all that high after all.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;

I have tried, but that information is very hard to obtain.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The latest figures that I was able to get for Leica are a total production capacity of 3,000 lenses per month or 36 thousand per year. Those arguably are impressive figures, but how do they compare to other manufacturers? I was able to obtain some information about Canon and Nikon.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Nikon recently announced that they have reached the mark of 70 million SLR lenses made since they were first introduced. That announcement came only six months after they published the manufacture of 65 million lenses. That means Nikon produced 5 million lenses in just 6 months or 10 million per year. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">For Canon no such data could be found. However, they did publish the total number of SLR cameras and lenses made since 1987. These average out to 2.9 million lenses per year. Current production of cameras and lenses is substantially higher than these average figures. As a matter of fact, currently Canon makes more cameras and lenses than Nikon, but I have no exact figures.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Taking the 10 million Nikon figure for total annual lens production, in comparison to Leica they make almost 300 times the number of lenses per year. That actually means that Nikon makes approximately the number of lenses in one day that Leica makes in a whole year.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

However, contrary to claims of being greedy or overcharging, these prices are the direct result of their production methods. Their bench made production is totally devoid of any assembly line work. All manufacturing and assembly steps are carried out by individuals in individual steps with multiple checks and rechecks. Only that way can the tight tolerances be assured, and it is these tight tolerances that are necessary to assure the increased performance that we expect from Leica equipment. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">That isn’t to say that other companies do not make excellent equipment. As a matter of fact, especially lenses have attained performance levels that photographers could only dream about years ago. I regularly use two Nikon lenses on my Leica M 240, a 55mm and a 105mm Micro Nikkor besides several Leica lenses, and both of them are excellent.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Based on their marketing, most competitors of Leica must mass produce their equipment, including lenses. Leica has been able to apply noticeably tighter tolerances which are necessary to gain that edge in performance. That unfortunately is expensive. If the performance gains are worth the extra cost of Leica equipment is a decision that photographers have to make for themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">That is further underlined by some of the more exotic Nikon and Canon lenses. These simply do not sell in sufficiently large numbers to warrant mass production; they are made not unlike Leica lenses, but they still have the advantage that development and production costs can be subsidized by the sales of high volume equipment.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13pt;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JCjFUvhPMVA/YEuLJT533OI/AAAAAAAAOb4/iL9cEB5mh_E7g-ZFgKbsfQPY8zNE2ow-QCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="color: cyan; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img alt="" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="450" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JCjFUvhPMVA/YEuLJT533OI/AAAAAAAAOb4/iL9cEB5mh_E7g-ZFgKbsfQPY8zNE2ow-QCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/image.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct</div></div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/hglzuHM6VTMhZsGQucUYSFz5Dw94KlWCBVQL6V_27DudDQQeO_hzsggTFMn_2vFonexY6fPY7_ohVsGPbZ_s71IxJq99AwXzwdY87wVjntezpIZglvjkpFWvjWKyhlsRM57jUawg=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img height="246" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/_LIsrW-2zHTI-0Z_CtnixvTidCCpAnBi9AiMFtgh56kXIYnyZ_8LwaCZYbRtLK9QpJWDXqOmmqMfOgviTfI00xQv4emZ1LzbFgdaYpEWStkEAdx8bKHezqtBuuxxl6j5GEquI4WOgXKq4A=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Canon EF 200-400 f/4L IS USM 1.4 lens and fitted case<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Nikon-800mm-f5.6E-FL-ED-VR-lens-unboxing" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/pTf4_REhiE_IZORlVLr2HlBlGUX-jciZuO3AMUiPFPgTChPXdDRw9qqR7c2jSAkQPc2hvsIFLttUlBmRSrKZG_Uwro6Agl71DbSBVnNHGq3dNudEgKiJmaykheGkQGdi-vdCR5fftSbUmlTpnkEJlVED=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Nikkor 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 19.9333px;">A good example is the NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct from Nikon with a cost of $8,000. Other lenses in this upper price range are the Canon EF 200-400 f/4L IS USM 1.4x with a cost of $11,000 and $600 for the custom case and the Nikkor 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR lens at a cost of over $16,000.

If Leica were to compromise their production methods to allow their equipment to be sold at lower prices, we would get equipment of performance levels as offered by other manufacturers.

Even today, almost a decade later, the SL601 is still a very modern-feeling camera, truly a testament to Leica's forward-looking design and engineering.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-36002" decoding="async" height="802" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-1200x802.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-768x513.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-1536x1027.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-2048x1369.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-200x134.jpg 200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-2000x1337.jpg 2000w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1260071-360x240.jpg 360w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The SL2 followed this up in 2019 with a massive resolution jump to 47 megapixels, In-Body Image Stabilization, an even higher quality 5.7 megepaixel OLED viewfinder, improved processing and numerous design improvements.

Correspondingly, the number of users of the SL System and for L-mount cameras in general has also grown significantly.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-33153" decoding="async" height="589" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2-1200x589.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2-1200x589.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2-768x377.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2-1536x754.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2-2048x1005.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2-300x147.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2-200x98.jpg 200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2-600x294.jpg 600w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/L-mount_products_0723-group-2-2000x981.jpg 2000w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">In the early days of digital photography, technology evolved quickly. This meant frequent upgrades were necessary to fix shortcomings and gain much-needed image quality and usability improvements. As photographers, this meant we were ever hungry for the next generation. But I really never felt this with the SL2. Certainly not initially and not even recently. I just returned from a landscape workshop in Norway and from Japan before that. The SL2 performed just as it always has on my many outings over the years – exceptionally. The camera is an absolute workhorse and delivers image quality that I could have only dreamed of back in my film days. Which led me to wonder, what could Leica really improve upon with its next generation SL3.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Well, the wait is over, and Leica has done what they do best. With the SL3, they have managed to produce a camera that embodies the core design and qualities of the SL System while pushing the technology envelope to deliver photographers’ most frequent requests. Let's dive into some of the biggest upgrades.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_004.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35937" decoding="async" height="799" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_004-1200x799.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_004-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_004-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_004-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_004-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_004-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_004-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_004-600x400.jpg 600w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">60 Megapixel BSI CMOS Sensor</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Headlining the changes, the Leica SL3 is now packing the same cutting-edge 60 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor we've seen on the M11 and Q3. With an ISO range of 50-100,000 and an amazing 15-stops of dynamic range, this chip delivers next-level image quality. Just like on the M11, expect a bump in low light performance along with the increased resolution. This is made possible by utilizing BSI technology.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_18.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35994" decoding="async" height="799" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_18-1200x799.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_18-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_18-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_18-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_18-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_18-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_18-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_18-600x400.jpg 600w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Back Side Illuminated sensors move the supporting electronics to the rear of the chip, allowing for significantly more photosensitive surface area and shallower pixel wells, resulting in no sacrifice versus a lower-resolution traditional design sensor with electronics in the top or middle substrate layers.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The increase in resolution also gives a nice bump to the APS-C crop mode when using TL lenses.

Select L-DNG for full 60MP images, M-DNG for 36MP and S-DNG for 18MP files. While dropping the resolution of the sensor won't results in any improvement to low light ability, it will reduce file size and increase burst depth. Just as in those cameras, we generally recommend sticking with full-res L-DNG for highest image quality.</span></p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Maestro IV Processor + 8GB Buffer</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The next-generation custom Maestro IV processor inside the SL3 boasts some serious horsepower. The SL3 boasts a maximum burst rate of 15 fps, despite the resolution increase. And with a generous 8GB of buffer memory, expect burst depths between 70 and 164 shots when shooting at a more modest 2 fps. Regardless of how you shoot, you'll never have to wait for the camera to keep up.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_05.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35981" decoding="async" height="799" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_05-1200x799.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_05-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_05-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_05-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_05-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_05-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_05-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Made_in_Germany_BTS_HighRes_05-600x400.jpg 600w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Upgraded video with up to Cine8K</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Now possible with the beefy new processor and BSI sensor, the Leica SL3 now offers 8K video. And not just standard 16:9 8K. The SL3 can film in the more cinematic 17:9 Cine8K in 10-bit. For those not up on video standards, this means that the SL3 can record a whopping 35 megapixels at 30 frames per second. If 8K is overkill, the camera supports C4K up to 60fps and FullHD up to 120fps. And while currently limited to FullHD, the SL3 can also record internally to ProRes 422HQ.

Employing traditional contrast detection as well as a phase detect with 315 fields, combined with depth mapping and AI-driven subject recognition, the AF is faster and more accurate than ever. Eye/Face/Body + Animal Detection works remarkably well, and assures sharp focus even for moving subjects.</span></p><div class="wp-block-image" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin: 0px auto; max-width: fit-content; text-align: center;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1000197.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35929" decoding="async" height="1200" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1000197-799x1200.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1000197-799x1200.jpg 799w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1000197-768x1154.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1000197-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1000197-1363x2048.jpg 1363w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1000197-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/L1000197.jpg 1997w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom; width: 550px;" width="799" /></span></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; caption-side: bottom; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: -2em; padding: 10px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Shot using Eye/Face/Body AF</span></figcaption></figure></div><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Smaller and lighter</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Looking at the body, you can immediately tell that it’s a little more compact than the SL2. Leica has managed to shrink the dimensions both in length and in height. Standing three millimeters shorter than the SL2 and five point two millimeters narrower from side to side, the camera still exudes the typical tank-like build synonymous with the Leica SL.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_frontal_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35906" decoding="async" height="900" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_frontal_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-1200x900.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_frontal_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_frontal_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_frontal_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_frontal_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_frontal_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_frontal_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-80x60.jpg 80w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Along with the reduction in size, Leica has swapped out a full magnesium build for the previous aluminum construction. Along with a lighter-weight shutter mechanism, the SL3 clocks in a 70 grams lighter than its predecessor. Make no mistake though. The camera is still rock solid and feels incredible in the hand. The chunky grip and diamond textured cladding offer a confident hold. And the camera is still IP54 weather sealed and rated for extreme temperatures. While Leica guarantees functionality from -10 to +40 Celsius, they test internally from -40 to +70 C, with a camera even surviving at a bone chilling -50 C during testing on an Antarctic expedition.</span></p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">New tiltable rear LCD screen</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">In a major departure for Leica, the SL3 follows the Q3 sporting an articulating rear LCD. Titling upwards and downwards, the screen offers additional flexibility for off-angle shooting. Whether holding overhead or close to the ground, the screen proves to be a useful addition. The 3.2-inch LCD touch panel itself gets upgraded as well, now clocking in at 2.3 million dots.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_019.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35948" decoding="async" height="799" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_019-1200x799.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_019-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_019-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_019-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_019-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_019-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_019-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_019-600x400.jpg 600w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Revised control layout</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">In order to accommodate the new titling screen mechanism, the left-side buttons have been moved to the right of the screen. On the top shoulder of the camera, Leica has added an additional control wheel. Assignable like the one located next to the shutter release, this one defaults to ISO control, mirroring the ISO wheel on the top of the M11. Now, with two top dials and a rear thumb dial, all elements of exposure – ISO, aperture and shutter speed – can all be controlled intuitively with physical dials. As someone who often finds themselves in cold climates, having glove-friendly controls is a huge plus.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_top_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35912" decoding="async" height="1200" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_top_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-1030x1200.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_top_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-1030x1200.jpg 1030w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_top_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-768x895.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_top_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-1318x1536.jpg 1318w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_top_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-1757x2048.jpg 1757w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_top_11184_APO-Summicron-SL_35_HiRes-257x300.jpg 257w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1030" /></span></a></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">New power button</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The power switch is now a power button, with an illuminated, multicolored LED ring surrounding it. Leica is clearly highlighting this as a major design shift for the SL3, with it featuring prominently in the initial startup animation. The possibilities of this LED look promising, but the underlying reason was one of functionality. As the SL3 and FOTOS app work much more closely and quicker together, the camera needs to be able to wake from sleep via the app.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_viewfinder_HiRes.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35916" decoding="async" height="800" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_viewfinder_HiRes-1200x800.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_viewfinder_HiRes-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_viewfinder_HiRes-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_viewfinder_HiRes-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_viewfinder_HiRes-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_viewfinder_HiRes-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_viewfinder_HiRes-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10607_Leica_SL3_viewfinder_HiRes-600x400.jpg 600w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">New User Interface (UI)</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">One of the biggest changes though isn’t readily visible from the photos of the camera you might have seen. The new user interface has been completely redesigned and looks amazing. Clean, intuitive, responsive. Leica design at its best. The SL2 UI is already one of the easiest to use on the market, but the menu system in the SL3 is next level. Leica started with their fonts and status icons, increasing their size by a small but impactful ten percent. Line weights were harmonized, and icons were re-imagined to be as clear as possible. The design team coined the term ‘Leicons' to describe these and have over one hundred and fifty of them for the interface of the SL3.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box;

By incorporating MIMO 2×2 multichannel beam forming technology, the SL3 boasts 10x faster wireless speeds than the first generation SL. Where DNG files could take 10 seconds or more to transfer from the SL2, the SL33's even larger images take a mere two seconds. Even browsing all of your pictures on the card from FOTOS feels snappy and responsive.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FOTOS_app_usage_low.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-23748" decoding="async" height="792" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FOTOS_app_usage_low-1200x792.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FOTOS_app_usage_low-1200x792.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FOTOS_app_usage_low-300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FOTOS_app_usage_low-768x507.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FOTOS_app_usage_low.jpg 2000w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Upgraded Storage</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Still offering a tried-and-true SDXC UHS-II slot for backup, the camera’s primary storage gets an upgrade to <a href="https://leicastoremiami.com/products/lexar-256gb-professional-cfexpress-type-b-card-gold-series" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;">CompactFlash Express Type B</a>.

Image quality gets a nice bump. More resolution. Better low light performance. Greater dynamic range. Hybrid autofocus system. The new body is smaller, lighter and more agile than before, without any compromise to durability or toughness. Improvements to both physical controls and touch functions combined with the tilting screen make a very ergonomic and intuitive system even more so. And it’s still an SL. If you’re familiar with the SL2, you’ll feel almost immediately at home with the SL3.</span></span></section><section class="cb-entry-content entry-content clearfix" itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box; counter-reset: footnotes 0; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 30px; text-align: justify; zoom: 1;"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_09.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35969" decoding="async" height="799" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_09-1200x799.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_09-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_09-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_09-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_09-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_09-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_09-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_09-600x400.jpg 600w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">SL3 Video Content on Red Dot Forum YouTube</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We've got a 15 minute overview of the new features of the SL3 as well as a two hour Red Dot Forum Camera Talk livestream where we take a deep dive into the new camera and how it compares against the SL2 (We go live at 8pm EST 3/7/24).

In 2015, Leica Camera AG introduced the SL-System, uniquely combining the two worlds of photography and videography. From the beginning, Leica has focused on partnering with its users and the photographic community to ensure that their products achieve exceptional standards. The result is a system which meets the highest requirements in image quality, manufacturing quality, and ease of handling. Now, the long-established company presents the next generation of the mirrorless full- frame system: the Leica SL3.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_011.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35941" decoding="async" height="799" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_011-1200x799.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_011-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_011-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_011-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_011-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_011-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_011-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_011-600x400.jpg 600w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The rigorous demands of professional photographers have long served as a benchmark and inspiration for the development of the system, in particular the Leica SL3. The result is an extremely versatile camera, offering unprecedented image quality in both photography and videography. The Leica SL3 combines state-of-the-art technology, extraordinary design, and masterful manufacturing – more compact, lighter, and even more user-friendly than its preceding model. The new functions of the Leica SL3 are based on an ongoing dialogue with professionals, which is highly valued and cultivated by the company in the ever-changing world of photography.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">At the core of the Leica SL3, you can find the BSI CMOS full-frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology, which is safely protected in a solid all-metal body with elegant leather. To meet a variety of photographic requirements, the sensor records files in DNG or JPEG format with a resolution of either 60, 36 or 18 MP. In each case, the full sensor surface is used. Together with the dynamic range expanded to 15 f-stops and the impressive ISO range from 50 to 100,000, the SL3 delivers remarkably detailed images in outstanding quality – in all light conditions.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_010.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35947" decoding="async" height="799" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_010-1200x799.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_010-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_010-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_010-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_010-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_010-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_010-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_Picard_Xiomara_Bender_BTS_HighRes_010-600x400.jpg 600w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">With phase detection (PDAF), depth mapping (Object Detection AF), and contrast recognition (Contrast Detection AF), the innovative autofocus system of the SL3 combines the strengths of three technologies to create razor-sharp pictures even in dim light. In addition, intelligent subject recognition supports the photography of dynamic scenes.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The lens bayonet, which is based on the L-Mount standard developed by Leica, facilitates the use of outstanding lenses from all of the Leica camera systems. Additionally, it is compatible with a diverse array of ultra-wide to super-telephoto zoom lenses offered by L-Mount alliance partners. Therefore, the lens bayonet guarantees extensive system compatibility for the Leica SL3. Specifically, the exceptional potential of the renowned Leica M-Lenses is fully harnessed, thanks to the unique design of the image sensor and an external light sensor. The integrated in-body image stabilization further broadens the scope of application for M-Lenses.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_013.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35942" decoding="async" height="793" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_013-1200x793.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_013-1200x793.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_013-768x508.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_013-1536x1015.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_013-2048x1354.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_-SL3_Ambient_HiRes_013-300x198.jpg 300w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The EyeRes® viewfinder of the Leica SL3 is equipped with an elaborately manufactured optical system made of glass lenses.

Throughout this process, the new Maestro- IV processor with L2 technology easily handles the vast amounts of data, resulting in pictures with magnificent color rendering as well as excellent noise performance.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Another highlight is the new user interface of the Leica SL3. Every optimization is aimed at enhancing user comfort such as ergonomics, tactile feel, and menu navigation. As a result, the grip, button layout, and overall camera design have been refined to further promote intuitive handling. The updated, streamlined icon and menu design offer a clear structure, facilitating even easier navigation. The distinct separation of photo and video modes proves especially beneficial as it is aided by a specific color code for differentiation: red for photo mode and yellow for video mode.</span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_05.jpg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-35966" decoding="async" height="798" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_05-1200x798.jpg" srcset="https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_05-1200x798.jpg 1200w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_05-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_05-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_05-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_05-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_05-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Leica_SL3_Ciril-Jazbec_BTS_HighRes_05-600x400.jpg 600w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(124, 124, 124); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="1200" /></span></a></figure><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Furthermore, the camera’s main functions can be completely adapted to individual needs. The freely assignable FN keys and the optimized touch interaction in the menu add to the intuitive and comfortable operation of the camera. When photographing and filming, the Leica SL3’s user interface aligns itself in landscape or portrait format, depending on the camera position. Thanks to the convenient handling, improved ergonomics, robust design, and IP54 certification, photographers can focus on capturing the shot in any weather and environment. At the same time, the new Leica SL3 is noticeably lighter and more compact than its predecessors and is even more comfortable to use.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; hyphens: none; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The Leica user experience undergoes continuous refinement.

How often have we contemplated certain occurrences in the light of what has or hasn't happened?</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">That certainly is the case with Leica as well. Most cell phones these days have evolved to fairly capable cameras as well. As a matter of fact, they have all but wiped out the market for small, digital point and shoot cameras. Yet many could never imagine that Leica would be even remotely interested in this market segment.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Yet this is exactly what has happened. It is a known fact that Leica used to colaborate with the Chinese company of Huawei to develop camera and lens systems for their top level cell phones. However, that is not all.

Leica's proprietary software engine now brings this typical “Leica look” to smartphone photography. It creates Leitz looks based on three iconic M lenses: The Summilux 28 for imposing shots taken in the centre of action; the Summilux 35 for everyday and street art photography; and the Noctilux 50, which is ideal for portraits with its extremely high aperture of 1.2, capturing shots with an unmistakable Leica bokeh. </p><p style="background-color: black; box-sizing: border-box; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px 0px 40px;">Even closer to the Leica look: combine the lens simulations with Leica tones, which further enhance the typical Leica look and feel. Choose from Monochrome for high-contrast black and white, Cinema Classic for a classic, analogue 35mm cinema film look, and Cinema Contemporary to give your photos the modern digital look of contemporary films.</p><p style="background-color: black; box-sizing: border-box; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px 0px 40px;">The 6.6-inch OLED display made of Gorilla Glass is extremely robust and adaptable. Each pixel adapts to your image as it is displayed. It works without backlighting and reproduces the purest white, deepest black and all the facets in between – with incredible contrast and brilliance, even in bright sunlight.

For the young mechanic </i>(Ernst Leitz)<i> there was a special task. Phillip Reis planned to demonstrate his invention, the telephone, since his first try in Frankfurt on October 16, 1861, had failed. Ernst Leitz successfully completed the preliminary work with the help of his technical knowledge, so that on September 21, 1864, the final recognition was not denied the inventor.”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black;

Could there have been a Leitel (<b>Lei</b>tz <b>Tel</b>ephone)? Considering the fact that Ernst Leitz did not start his work at the Wetzlar Optical Institute until 1865, this seems to be a possibility.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">It is also interesting to note that Alexander Graham Bell did not show his invention of the telephone until 1876, twelve years later, yet he is generally credited with the invention of the telephone.

The result was the Gray-Bell telephone controversy, one of the United States' longest running patent interference cases, involving Bell, Thomas Alva Edison, Elisha Gray, Emil Berliner, Amos Dolbear, J. W. McDonagh, G. B. Richmond, W. L. Voeker, J. H. Irwin, and Francis Blake Jr. The case started in 1878 and was not finalized until February 27, 1901. However, regardless of the claims by Bell and others, nobody demonstrated a working telephone prior to Phillip Reis.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white;

In 1962 he moved to the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea and fell in love with it. He was a passionate amateur photographer and was the only East German amateur who managed to publish in major journals such as Das Magazin (The Magazine) and Eulenspiegel and then turn his hobby into a profession. On 10 May 1966 he began his work as a freelance nude and landscape photographer. After only a few years he became one of the top East German photographers and published with more than 50 publishers. In 1972 he left Rügen, because of political pressures and moved to Potsdam.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"> <img height="607" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/dJ3DCic89vMrTF1kY8-Il6WtnuEJbA__t3PPUmD4PUpPljmvz5-yc0HSBDNZgy53n8TuK_TDoeq6ZU6W8USP_xYGsHo3lerhRli9gbG0IPfKttgGo_rNKIVQPCjwlkzjPD-lhHzOUFc6v5_eHlKYJIgYMCQgTLul-A9dmv5QZU4YNN6200AyUNF-n7mscuKkDxWchKbD5LH9c7Lj50F03Bjf7zuLefqSuTmsM5pYRD0zuZu6=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial;

line-height: 18.2px;">Many photographs do exist of these two models and the differences are clearly visible. But how did these two cameras differ internally?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It was common practice to make detailed drawings of the design of cameras which, of course, included these two models as well. Unfortunately these were never published by the company and thus very few have ever seen them.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Fortunately, the well-known Leica (and Ferrari) historian Ginanni Rogliatti obtained permission from the Ernst Leitz Wetzlar GmbH, as Leica used to be called, to publish a reprinted series of these drawings in 1980. These came in the original size and were limited to a total of 1000. They were numbered and signed individually by Gianni Rogliatti.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I am the lucky owner of set number 11 and am happy to share them on these pages. Unfortunately Sig. Rogliatty signed them with a fountain pen with the result that his signature on the three prints has faded substantially over the years. Only a faint version of his signature is still visible.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The first drawing is dated June 13, 1923 and shows one of the Nullserie designs. Supposedly 30 of these cameras were made, but it is assumed that some of them were nonfunctioning. The actual number of working cameras is believed to be no more than 20 cameras. It is also thought that during the production of these cameras several changes were made. One of these changes is quite visible on photographs which show the camera with an early folding viewfinder which had to be used with the camera about one foot distance from the eye. Later models had a standard viewfinder as did the later Leica 1. The Rogliatti drawing shows the Nullserie camera with the folding finder.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Unfortunately, these are not open to the public. I have always been interested in the history of Leica.

In the meantime, a team of full-time archivists keep the growing collection preserved for future generations. Leica created the first 35mm still camera over 100 years ago. In that time, the company has had an enormous impact on photography. Clearly, the company understands the importance of maintaining and curating this history.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;

Around a bend, half-mile downstream were several photographer on a swinging footbridge.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">When the President’s raft came into view, Harry Cabluck started making exposures with his hand made 800mm Leitz f/6.3 lens at 1/125th of a second with his tripod mounted camera on a swaying bridge.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Cabluck, a 10 year veteran of the Associated Press, insists that the shot shouldn’t have worked.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Instead, he captured a classic last august – a tight photo of President Carter’s raft floating down the river with the President standing monumentally in the bow like the famous Leutze painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">“It’s the first time in my life I’ve ever planned something and executed it just the way I thought it would be,” Cabluck said. “Hell, even getting married wasn’t planned out that way.”Cabluck has a history of getting pictures no one else does because of his planning and his 800mm prototype: the “agony and the ecstasy” at the 1976 Olympics, the Carter family after the Inauguration walking down Pennsylvania Avenue with the Capitol dome in the background, and key plays in baseball games where his attachment to the lens began.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">With AP in Pittsburg, Cabluck borrowed the prototype from Walter Heun, technical director for E. Leitz, Inc., for use in the 1974 All-Star game in Pittsburg.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">In Heun’s hands, the lens had been used to photograph the Apollo 8 launch on December 21, 1968, of Borman, Anders and Lovell on a 147 hour lunar flight.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Once in Cabluck’s hands, it was lost to Leitz. “They figured it would be better to sell it to me than to just let me have it,” Cabluck explained.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">With his 800, Cabluck said that getting the picture is not all that difficult. “It’s not so much me as the lens,” he said. “A lot of people think that it’s me, but anybody with that lens in their hands is going to make a good picture.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Well, not quite.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">As Hal Buell, AP’s assistant general manager for news photos put it, “Harry knows how to use that lens. And when to use it. It’s an excellent piece of glass and the whole thing comes out to nice pictures because Harry’s a very talented buy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Putting himself into a situation where he can use his lens is where Cabluck”s real talent comes in.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">With a call to The Idaho Statesman, Cabluck checked lighting, distances and angles. He talked to the White House people. The weight of the lens – 32 pounds – was a factor. “I figured, what the heck, I’d carry the 800 out there. It’s a pain in the neck, but I just live with it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The white House said he wouldn’t have to carry his equipment – two Halliburtons, one for the camera, the other for the 800 – more than 50 yards from the helicopter landing area to the footbridge. “I said great! I can carry everything 50 yards.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">But then surprise. The helicopter left and Cabluck had to lug his two cases a mile to the pickup point. “It seemed like five in that altitude. And I am just cussing myself all the way – you idiot, I said, the pictures won’t work, they’re soft, the film is all bad, the light was so bad… an 800 from a swinging bridge, the raft is moving right at us, the bridge is moving, my heart is beating and it shouldn’t have worked. Who would shoot an 800 on a tripod at a moving raft even if the camera was bolted to the earth?”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">But after processing it was all worthwhile. Weeks later he was still doctoring his elbows from carrying his cases that Idaho mile.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><img height="422" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iYcJ8T2SmwE/T2dV5L5EQgI/AAAAAAAAAQg/vYGm4tq7mw4/s640/Cabluck+Carter+Picture.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">During his decade years with AP, Cabluck has been sent as far north as the Montreal Olympics, as far east as Yankee Stadium, as far south as San Juan, P.R., and as far west as Beijing, China.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Cabluck has become known as “Dancing Bear and his Magic Lens.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">“There’s just a certain superstition I have about it – I’m not superstitious, ordinarily, except when it comes to that lens.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Cabluck was a staff photographer at the Fort Worth TX Star-Telegram for 11 years (his brother, Jarrold, is a Fort Worth freelancer).

While the two shorter lenses had only two elements in one group, the 800mm lens was designed to consist of three elements, also in one group.

Of course.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The lens was a 50 Summicron, and there had been rumours of a replacement, so I took it at face value. I wandered around outside taking a few shots, and then sat down and put them on my computer. I'm not sure that my jaw actually dropped, but I was certainly gobsmacked, the images had a real clarity with wonderful bokeh, they just pinged out at me.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13pt;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nLljvGN9TH0/YEEpJ2kAqTI/AAAAAAAAOYU/dh5NdZ2R0EY2y8rw7YOMB61vxYlrXam4gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1104/mr101683-crop-u45083%2B%25281%2529.jpg" style="color: cyan; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="737" data-original-width="1104" height="428" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nLljvGN9TH0/YEEpJ2kAqTI/AAAAAAAAOYU/dh5NdZ2R0EY2y8rw7YOMB61vxYlrXam4gCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h428/mr101683-crop-u45083%2B%25281%2529.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Fen Morning</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Leica M10-R ISO 100 1/350th f6.8 Apo-Summicron-M 1:2/35 ASPH </div></div></div></div></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Of course, this was my first sight of the 50 APO Summicron M, and to give myself credit, I immediately realized how special it was, even when expecting something 'standard'.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Before that my only experience of APO lenses was the 75 APO Summicron M, which was already a firm favourite of mine. That lens also combines creamy bokeh with real precise sharpness. Every time I see someone use the word 'sterile' in conjunction with this lovely lens it hurts afresh!</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Since that day we have seen a whole range of APO Summicrons for the L mount, and these also have been characterised by this combination of wonderful bokeh and stunning sharpness. Absolutely the opposite of 'sterile' these lenses produce a consistent and lovely look, not harsh at all, just right.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zZZ00KVWL40/YEEpsUURmjI/AAAAAAAAOYc/4tQjn63-BjU_ne6ZlhoImNqsAOidyD0jACLcBGAsYHQ/s1104/mr101340-crop-u45080.jpg" style="color: cyan; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="737" data-original-width="1104" height="428" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zZZ00KVWL40/YEEpsUURmjI/AAAAAAAAOYc/4tQjn63-BjU_ne6ZlhoImNqsAOidyD0jACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h428/mr101340-crop-u45080.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="text-align: left;">Shingle Street Lagoon</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="text-align: left;">Leica M10-R</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">ISO 100 1/750th f6.8</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">Apo-Summicron-M 1:2/35 ASPH</span></div></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Now we have the fourth Apochromatic M lens (after the 90, 75 and 50 Summicron lenses).

Making such a small lens of such good quality is not simple. Hence the cost.

With a beautifully engineered detent at 0.7m on the focus ring, the user can feel when the lens steps into the close-focus range and therefore know when they must switch to Live View on the screen or EVF on an M. </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Truly a masterpiece of German engineering for next-level authenticity.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yPvD3fUJv6U/YEEbmxry_4I/AAAAAAAAOXE/ugchZLkMpfoyoD1wvqiHZ5ykrKVfIUT9ACLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="color: cyan; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yPvD3fUJv6U/YEEbmxry_4I/AAAAAAAAOXE/ugchZLkMpfoyoD1wvqiHZ5ykrKVfIUT9ACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/image.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="640" /></a></div><p style="font-size: 13px;"></p><p style="font-size: 13px;"></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The exceptional performance capability is made possible by the elaborate lens design, combined with the high-precision manufacturing processes at the Leica production plant. The ten lens elements are divided into five groups; three elements feature aspherical surfaces (one of them on both sides). Six elements are made of glasses with anomalous partial dispersion, which not only reduce chromatic aberrations to almost zero, but also provide apochromatic correction – a quality that is rarely found in lenses of this focal length, and a first for a 35mm lens in the M-System.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Initial deliveries of the Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH will start within the next week for a price of $8,195. As with any major Leica launch, and especially true for exotic, reference-level lenses like these, supply will be extremely limited for a number of months.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-size: 13px;

As has been often explained by Joel Meyerowitz, one of the great advantages of Leica M rangefinder cameras is that unlike slr cameras ( featuring the viewfinder on middle top of the back area, so the vision of the other eye and what happens outside the frame is blocked), they have got the VF and its eyepiece on back extreme top left area of the camera, enabling the photographer to preserve the binocular nature of the human being, so he / she can see what is taking place inside the frame and outside it, and understanding much better that the world continues outside the frame. Besides, the viewfinder is obviously the most important tool in composing an image, and Leica M cameras boast frame-lines making possible to see out of their boundaries, giving the photographers the ability to change their composition to exactly what they want the image to be, being able to see persons and things walking into the frame or walking out of it, because an slr camera, whether analogue or digital, blacks out everything outside the frame, so a rangefinder camera gives you much more freedom. Needless to say that it would have been virtually impossible to get the picture " Man Fallen in Paris 1967 " with a single reflex camera, because a Leica M is much less intimidating, hugely more discreet, its shutter release noise is much lower, its hyperfocal focus is much faster than any AF on earth and the shutter lag (time elapsed between the instant in which the shutter release button is pressed and the exposure) is much shorter, approximately 16 ms in a Leica M2.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Sales revenues rose to <span class="xn-money" style="box-sizing: border-box;">485 million euros</span> in comparison with the previous year's figure (<span class="xn-money" style="box-sizing: border-box;">444 million euros</span>) and, with a significant increase of 9 percent, achieved a new record high. This is the third record year in succession for the Leica Camera Group and reflects the outstanding success of Leica products and a disproportionately high increase in operating results. The international, premium manufacturer of cameras and sports optics products can therefore look back on a positive conclusion of the past financial year and forecast promising future development.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px 0px 35px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span class="xn-person" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Matthias Harsch</span>, CEO of Leica Camera AG: 'The Leica brand has always stood for optical expertise 'made in <span class="xn-location" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Germany</span>' and for technical innovations, most recently in the field of Content Authenticity Technology. With the market-launch of the Leica M11-P, Leica sets an example in the battle against fake photos and AI-generated images. As the world's first camera with 'Content Credentials', which guarantee the authenticity of digital images, this model once again bears witness to Leica's pioneering spirit. Thanks to increased engagement in forward-looking fields of technology, an innovative product portfolio and the consistent expansion of the global sales network, we now also expect positive developments in our sales revenues for the current financial year.'</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px 0px 35px;"></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px 0px 35px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Success factors and outlook: new products and strengthening of own online and retail sales channels.</b></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px 0px 35px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">One of the most significant factors in the success of the past financial year is the Leica M11 from the current product portfolio of the Leica rangefinder system. Leica products, and in particular the camera models, are synonyms for enduring value and even retain their immense popularity in used condition. This was confirmed in the past financial year by a rare Leica 0-Series camera from 1923/24, which achieved the world record price of <span class="xn-money" style="box-sizing: border-box;">14.4 million euros</span> (including the buyer's premium) at the 40th Leitz Photographica Auction and became the most expensive camera of all time. With the best sales revenues since their launch, the products of the Leica Sport Optics portfolio (such as binoculars and thermal imaging cameras) have continued to make an important contribution to the record-breaking sales revenues in the financial year 2022/23.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px 0px 35px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The road to success that brought the record results will be consistently followed in the current financial year (<span class="xn-chron" style="box-sizing: border-box;">April 1, 2023</span> to <span class="xn-chron" style="box-sizing: border-box;">March 31, 2024</span>).

The smaller sensor and the relatively low resolution of 10 megapixels had much less of an affect than expected.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">What bothered me the most is the crop factor of the smaller sensor. I grew up with 35mm cameras and have gotten used to the effects of certain focal length in relation to the image. With the smaller sensor this no longer applied and I found myself forever calculating what any focal length on the M8 would translate to on a full frame camera. </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Of course this is something one can get used to, but 40+ years of experience with film didn’t make that any easier.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">But there was more. When using my film Leicas, I often used lenses beyond the standard, rangefinder coupled lenses. I did close-up work as well as using lenses longer than 135mm. This made the Visoflex an important part of my camera outfit.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="270" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B5QXtJkhtnc/U_ehxJQARTI/AAAAAAAAE34/FMctsOLhk38/s400/560mm%2BTelyt.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Leica M5, Visoflex III, Leica Bellows II, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJCB94y_9TqP2QZ-8WQb5z4SOcf8kUfduokf0YMowhpAJFbP4eeBd_bhEGRtIx0QCe_XR_uHqJxjSsttz5mH6ey1og9ELRqSBxBhCci1udo6wnRGT3lYnRogTWtE7ZgqOra3jkBZwPj-zFRc0CKYgowCRMDRyhEntQXVv9kGsnQgZIzuRwQvZrL6anxg=s3150" imageanchor="1" style="color: cyan; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2068" data-original-width="3150" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJCB94y_9TqP2QZ-8WQb5z4SOcf8kUfduokf0YMowhpAJFbP4eeBd_bhEGRtIx0QCe_XR_uHqJxjSsttz5mH6ey1og9ELRqSBxBhCci1udo6wnRGT3lYnRogTWtE7ZgqOra3jkBZwPj-zFRc0CKYgowCRMDRyhEntQXVv9kGsnQgZIzuRwQvZrL6anxg=w640-h420" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="640" /></a></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Photograph taken with the above combination</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Of course the Visoflex can be used on the Leica M8 and M9, but I had always hoped for a more elegant solution.

Full frame, an even higher resolution of 24 megapixels and a CMOS sensor, offering live view. This allowed me to do close ups and the use of long lenses without any additional accessories, using the screen in back of the camera. Of course that soon proved to be less than ideal. But the solution of that problem lay in the electronic Visoflex. Added to the accessory shoe, I now had a well working viewfinder that easily allowed focusing for close up work as well as long lenses.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMjAO_s4QXQ/XlgkDG6YM8I/AAAAAAAAMto/_I4N7ZPHT2wUn2P-p29nx_9W6ByDNG8VQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Leica-M-EVF.jpg" style="color: cyan; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="521" data-original-width="600" height="346" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMjAO_s4QXQ/XlgkDG6YM8I/AAAAAAAAMto/_I4N7ZPHT2wUn2P-p29nx_9W6ByDNG8VQCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Leica-M-EVF.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Leica M240 with attached electronic Visoflex</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Granted, using the electronic Visoflex is not as nice as an optical viewfinder, but I don’t let that bother me.</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> Focusing is quite accurate, especially with focus peaking, and the slight delay in the image refresh when moving the camera is negligible to me. </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> My first digital Leica was a Digilux 2 and its electronic finder is </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">light years</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> behind in comparison.</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> I got used to it and subsequently had no problem at all with the electronic Visoflex.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The M 240 also has the advantage of </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">electronically</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> illuminated viewfinder frames. This makes </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">it independent</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> of the relative </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">ambient</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> brightness which illuminated all previous Leica M models. Under adverse lighting conditions this sometimes made it difficult to see the </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">viewfinder</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> frames. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">But I discovered another advantage of the M240 over the M9 and especially the M8. Since no zoom lenses are available for Leica M cameras, we are forced to change lenses quite often out of necessity. With the higher resolution of the M240 I found that I have been able to curtail that need to quite an extend. For most of the work I do, 24 megapixels is more than enough. I rarely make very big enlargements and therefore was actually quite happy with the M8. However, with virtually all of the Leica lenses we have a performance potential that is often not being taken advantage of.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I am talking about cropping. I found that using a shorter lens, in my case often a 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit or a 50mm f/2 Summicron, I can shoot and crop to the field of view of a longer lens to quite an extend without sacrificing overall quality of the image. In many cases this has allowed me to get a shot that I otherwise might have missed while changing lenses.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They definitely display less noise with higher ISO settings. However, since I rarely use images straight out of the camera, this is less of a problem for me. I always optimize my images in post production, including noise reduction with the help of Photoshop when necessary.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbDscyo3JUrXfxS8a-jY6MwidJvdz5Trk4QIJ5EnU-GYo3yGklnt-6mHXJ_Ca1LQDpOiZIlo0J_yQNJC-9ta4aQ3TkordJqs7jMMZS22e3GnlArhDuR0K7_2g1vxOrgEIJUOLQPykPaegxwH3JqzIpha0gtukwM_AjMZzVk_rdbrowsWEdlkcAFTm4uh12/s3150/L1002645.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1951" data-original-width="3150" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbDscyo3JUrXfxS8a-jY6MwidJvdz5Trk4QIJ5EnU-GYo3yGklnt-6mHXJ_Ca1LQDpOiZIlo0J_yQNJC-9ta4aQ3TkordJqs7jMMZS22e3GnlArhDuR0K7_2g1vxOrgEIJUOLQPykPaegxwH3JqzIpha0gtukwM_AjMZzVk_rdbrowsWEdlkcAFTm4uh12/w640-h396/L1002645.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Leica M240, 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit, ISO 2000, 1/15 sec f/2.8</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaG2GS5N7kI_XHHy8vop-q4mLsPa9hSWy3AYiqrJylVm6EPJYitoO3hVQFMON6vVEBRCXcGziHyVjrWIi1T7hsy8e-9h5AS1VgE7rBhQgr-VkMQwQeb0_UGD5seNinKH4gFp62azQs8v48pYXR1IM1TPjglTUwqb3OVq9bV0bEw3MBIjhrBrqFEjlUdmtv/s3150/L1002569%20Crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3150" data-original-width="2100" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaG2GS5N7kI_XHHy8vop-q4mLsPa9hSWy3AYiqrJylVm6EPJYitoO3hVQFMON6vVEBRCXcGziHyVjrWIi1T7hsy8e-9h5AS1VgE7rBhQgr-VkMQwQeb0_UGD5seNinKH4gFp62azQs8v48pYXR1IM1TPjglTUwqb3OVq9bV0bEw3MBIjhrBrqFEjlUdmtv/w426-h640/L1002569%20Crop.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Leuica M240, 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit, ISO 3200, 1/60 sec f/6.8, 75% crop</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHWQDp6COMNu1T7q3Essm-2JMwnaUSOUT4jG4zQPO7Zusbj2vIue5oTQAuyY3g_gm2vr9SmJ7MxM5wFq6rVcpNrKY78NNBkyZQrGlN0yncKwojFDbf7TFyMYqcbF5NirzuOjkT4Oz0DRK-h1Bol7ZZVeoaJbUnDsHheP6Mu6BuGS7AU0kfw-MuguDodIqA/s3150/L1002534.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="3150" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHWQDp6COMNu1T7q3Essm-2JMwnaUSOUT4jG4zQPO7Zusbj2vIue5oTQAuyY3g_gm2vr9SmJ7MxM5wFq6rVcpNrKY78NNBkyZQrGlN0yncKwojFDbf7TFyMYqcbF5NirzuOjkT4Oz0DRK-h1Bol7ZZVeoaJbUnDsHheP6Mu6BuGS7AU0kfw-MuguDodIqA/w640-h426/L1002534.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Leica M240, 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit, ISO 4000, 1/60sec f/5.6</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQg6Zt6aAM3gAJb7PR8kM8jPhNF6vF0iQufm8e2r3KJex8owg6JzFRICWE5qt3xorFNK3eCSVZDXd3OmCoSbyHTvarskFSuhEq_vySHCpKzgQtnbcg-SKqVpU5lJiBZhBahgyLHCSLSWxqKG5uVfRz81tTpays4wnFmn_VD0BMNh77E9wUxAo8lEKCKP_c/s3150/L1002458%2050%25%20Crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="3150" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQg6Zt6aAM3gAJb7PR8kM8jPhNF6vF0iQufm8e2r3KJex8owg6JzFRICWE5qt3xorFNK3eCSVZDXd3OmCoSbyHTvarskFSuhEq_vySHCpKzgQtnbcg-SKqVpU5lJiBZhBahgyLHCSLSWxqKG5uVfRz81tTpays4wnFmn_VD0BMNh77E9wUxAo8lEKCKP_c/w640-h488/L1002458%2050%25%20Crop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Leica M240, 50mm f/2 Summicron, ISO 6400, 1/30sec f/2</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Does that mean the M 240 is the end of the road for me? Not at all. We now have the Leica M10-R and the Leica M11 with a resolution of 40 MP and 60 MP respectively. That is a considerable increase in resolution offering a greatly increased image quality with big enlargements and even greater cropping ability than the M240. For me that is of considerable interest, as is the greater dynamic range and better high ISO capabilities. For the time I will keep my M240, but a future switch to the M10-R or the M11 is definitely a possibility.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="font-feature-settings: normal;

Not only was it the Leica that established 35mm photography as a viable, professional photographic format, it also allowed the creation of a totally different style of photography, a style that allowed to shoot virtually instantaneously and thus capture true to life photographs like never before. Photo journalism as we know it would never have happened without the Leica. Not only that, but the Leica also gave other manufacturers the impetus to design, build and market competing cameras.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Subsequently much has been written about the Leica company and its products over the years. Many people are familiar with the original prototype Leicas, the UR-Leica and the preproduction models which preceded the first Leica that reached the market. However, little is known about the development of cameras that Leica built and tried, which never did make it to the market. Anyone who ever visited the Leica museum will have noticed a variety of Leica Versuchsmodelle (test cameras), which present a fascinating insight of the Leica cameras beyond what is generally known.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Preceding even the original prototype Leica, the Ur-Leica, was a motion picture camera that Oskar Barnack built.

I did get permission from Dr. Kisselbach to use some of the pictures from the book. The camera belonged to his father Theo Kisselbach who obtained it from Oskar Barnack. It is similar in its layout and design to the preproduction Leicas, the so-called 0-Series cameras which ultimately led to the production of the first Leica in 1925.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9kr5UiJzyy0/UVRonD20tKI/AAAAAAAAEBg/DJ7ZbH1fM2c/s400/Kisselbach+Leica+a.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KbAfxz-fHDc/UVRono8_a8I/AAAAAAAAEB0/hUpToyKdhW0/s400/Kisselbach+Leica+b.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VsY5CCPQdWA/UVRonr5LMjI/AAAAAAAAEBs/X6cFz-8NqC8/s400/Kisselbach+Leica+c.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8ED2CGWwotA/UVRon_Q98qI/AAAAAAAAEB4/bSqzo6klfAE/s400/Kisselbach+Leica+d.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">For an extenive article about this camera go to: <a href="https://gmpphoto.blogspot.com/2020/01/a-virtually-unknown-prototype-of-leica.html" style="color: cyan; text-decoration-line: none;"><b>A Virtually Unknown Prototype Of The Leica</b></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">These cameras go back almost to the the days when the very first days when the Leica reached the photographic camera market.</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Oskar Barnack, ever looking for improvement, was the first to try different approaches and variations of his initial creations.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Almost as soon as photography was invented, as soon as the first pictures were made, people looked beyond the flat, two dimensional pictures, to create more lifelike pictures. This lead to stereo photography soon after the basic photographic processes had been invented.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Thus it is not surprising that Oskar Barnack looked at stereo photography as well. He designed a stereo Leica in 1935 which essentially was a stretched version of an existing Leica with two lenses, the Doppel Leica (double Leica). Besides the two lenses, the camera also had two shutters which were released simultaneously when the shutter release was depressed. The film advance was modified such that after each exposure the film was advanced two frames. The two lenses were 35mm lenses with the viewfinder positioned exactly between the two.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;

This resulted in the Leica Box from the early 1950s. Even more streamlined was the Leica H from 1959. This was a beautifully made camera with automatic exposure control. The most notable feature was a folding lens, very much like on the Minox EL. It allowed the lens to be folded into the camera body when not in use. Even though it was never confirmed, it is thought that the Leica H design resulted in the development of another camera at Leica, a design that was later transferred to Minox in Giessen, only 20 miles from Wetzlar<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px;

It was designed by Peter Loseries and the prototypes were made in 1981. The camera was based on the Leica R4 body. The pentaprism and the mirror box were removed and replaced by the Leica M rangefinder. It also included the angled rewind knob of the Leica M4. The camera maintained the shutter of the R4 as well as most of the electronics. This resulted in an M Leica with TTL metering and automatic exposure control. This was achieved by placing the sensor of the light meter on an arm which would swing out of the way prior to making any exposure, reminiscent of the Leica M5. The camera would also accept the data back and the motor drives of the R4. The so-called “M6 electronic” was finished in late 1981 and only four complete prototypes were ever produced.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;

It consists of a </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Leica M7, mounted on a rail, together with a Leica R9. Maybe, to call it a prototype is a bit premature. It was an early attempt to explore the feasibility of placing a digital sensor into the body of an M7, a Versuchsaufbau (experimental setup) . The DM-R digital back that had been marketed for the Leica R8 and R9 was modified to fit the back of the M7, to provide a sensor and some of the electronics.. Since the basic body of the M7 had no room inside for any additional electronics, a Leica R9 was used to provide the necessary electronics to run the digital DM-R back and to trigger the shutter via several cables from the R9 to the DM-R back.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Not all Leica prototypes were actually made by Leica. One such camera is the Leica M2-250, a standard M2 converted to accept film for 250 exposures. The camera was made by Norman Goldberg. He had established Camcraft, an independent workshop which specialized in repairs and custom modifications to professional photographic equipment. In 1966 he became a technical consultant to Popular Photography, devising a lens testing program for them and creating their testing laboratory, and in 1972 he joined the staff of the magazine. He retired in 1987 after working for Popular Photography for 22 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">While running Camcraft, he became the first Leica authorized service facility for Leica cameras in the US. Goldberg is perhaps best known as the creator of the Camcraft N-5 electric motor drive for the Leica M2 and MP. However, he has also several other inventions for Leicas and other cameras to his credit. For instance, the clip he designed to permit wearing an M Leica on the belt was widely used, and he also offered modifications of the Visoflex, utilizing either a prism or a pellicle mirror. He also designed and built a considerable amount of testing equipment to test cameras and lenses, including the equipment used at Popular Photography, and he held numerous patents.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jG65TtYQNwE/UL53sUfp0YI/AAAAAAAADtM/-AjQS-Taj1U/s1600/3634193_1_l.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"> Camcraft N-5 motor with power supply<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--k4UvrJe1cA/UL53rsHiS9I/AAAAAAAADtE/ePtxpMqxtlg/s1600/13971332_1_x.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">Camcraft N-5 motor attached to Leica M2<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The first camcraft N-5 motor was introduced in 1961. After several modifications to the original design, the final version was made by TPI (Technical Photomation Instruments) of Los Angeles. Eventually Leitz bought the patents and the rights to the motor. Over the years they made over a thousand units of what was often called the NY Motor. It was sold for the M2-M and later for the M4-M.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">With the motor in place, 36 exposures could go very fast, and the need to change to a new roll of film was ever present. This lead to thoughts of a larger capacity of film and Goldberg began to design a 250 exposure conversion of a Leica M2 which incorporated the successful N-5 motor. The modifications are based on a standard Leicavit rapid advance. They included larger film compartments at both the supply and take up side of the camera which were attached to the camera and the Leicavit. The manual film advance of the Leicavit was replaced by the N-5 motor. Power was supplied via a cord, connected to a separate power supply which contained the batteries. Only one of the M2-250 cameras is in existence, making it also one of the rarest Leicas.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IB9A5JMUq5o/UL55LHr6a-I/AAAAAAAADtU/cbxmR4pSzsE/s1600/M2+250+a+Blog.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y9OG9-2Yw1E/UL55RabwABI/AAAAAAAADtc/QhSGkJqLXfo/s1600/M2+250+b+Blog.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GABW6cDCt1k/UL55TRN3QcI/AAAAAAAADtk/SjI2raw4nq0/s1600/M2+250+c+Blog.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KmW9KLxarFA/UL55Vo4vpoI/AAAAAAAADts/Nxoa5J6w5PI/s1600/M2+250+d+Blog.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MkdQ4ytEbe4/UL55aym6oJI/AAAAAAAADt0/bpS9rVsgLvQ/s1600/M2+250+Sketch+Blog.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">M2-250 original design sketch by Norman Goldberg</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><br style="line-height: 18.2px;" /><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">These are only a few experimental cameras that we know of, a lot more has been and is going on at Leitz/Leica that we don’t know about.

But the headline referred to it as a Combat Graflex. The olive green color certainly underlines that title. Reading further, I found out the following details:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The camera outfit consisted of a camera under the Graflex label. It was a medium format (5.5x7cm) rangefinder camera made to accept 70mm roll film. The olive color very much indicates a military production and it was indeed made for the US Signal Corps under the designation KE-4 (1). Lenses made for the camera were a Kodak Ektar 4” (102mm) f/2.8 a 8” (205mm) f/4 Kodak Ektar and a 2 ½ “ (63.8mm) Kodak Ektar.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The camera was built by Graflex Inc. from 1954 to 1957, with the official label of KE-4 (1) Still Picture Camera, a designation similar to the Leica KE-7a, also made for the US military. The five pound body was made of cast magnesium and featured a rangefinder with a base length of 115mm. A unique feature was that the viewfinder would zoom to the field of view of the 205mm lens when it was attached. The wide angle lens, on the other hand, required to be framed with a sports finder which was attached to the top of the camera. Shutter speeds ranged from T, B, X, 1 sec to 1/500 sec with a focal plane shutter.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="209" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/1zVpk5UtPOhV6nYfp_lFKp-R7GKY1s3JVC_rMWK4zzNtDifZaa7KqcSYYlQQOHFCL99TpFsrnlIfItrmaL1502ayftXhbKbpOsBivdRqnlYK-Ma3i89wZwE=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="320" /> <img height="208" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/pVqmWVUGTrmQoTn3njCUQyKs8XuT3N6xnUbe5WwjRFE-TUKf1nyc4zq7TKulQbX9RdWZ7-JGdhRM0fCtlG0aXm6M3-l0DZDPuV3I6gMiwwhx3zVrwM9mUYw=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="320" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">102mm Lens (Photo: Novacon) 63.9mm Lens (Photo: Novacon)</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"> <img height="211" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/s7lKFbQWKFXe0lyh0C68V-eSvuFUGza-57cKp9hgsNJNeFi-ZzwJhU5iu-X_p8AxyvZtGA3rz4hR9QACz1vR3SGhw2QSsztLsHbmClzgHKRs-F_J5HFiJN0=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="320" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">205mm Lens (Photo: Novacon)</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="428" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5f/19/40/5f1940f1a6c9afbbbd09453e396fa1ff.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Combat Graflex with attached 102mm lens and 205mm lens</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The camera had a spring driven motor drive which was good for about 9 frames before winding was necessary. The 70mm film was running from cassette to cassette. The camera also had a built-in knife cutter to save unused film. The camera displays a built-in handgrip which looks like the forerunner of the handgrips features on many of today’s cameras.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">As I said above, seeing the camera, I immediately thought of a Leica rangefinder camera, although it also displays design elements of the Zeiss Contax rangefinder cameras.

The current 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux at the time of its introduction, was the fastest, full frame aspherical production lens available from any manufacturer. But not only is it very fast, it is also an amazingly well performing lens, even wide open. The performance at f/0.95 combined with some of the high ISO setting available on the latest Leica digital cameras, allows the photographer to shoot under available light conditions that were impossible to take advantage of in the past.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MpxtZl1s1iQ/UIHEIzTyT4I/AAAAAAAADXo/aSioPhAWNps/s400/Leitz+50mm+f0.95.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="394" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Noctilux 50mm f/0.95<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The Noctilux f/0.95 replaced the famous Noctilus f/1 which was first introduced in 1975. It too was an amazingly well performing lens, including the f/1 aperture, and many owners of this lens can consider themselves very lucky indeed. The Noctily f/1 was one of the crowning achievements of Dr. Mandler, chief lens designer of Leica in the 70s and 80s. He set out to design a replacement of the original Noctilux 50mm f/1.2 that was not only 50 percent faster but also better in overall performance, all without the aid of aspherical elements. He succeeded to do so, but not until the Leitz glass laboratory was able to develop a glass that enabled the production of the lens. To my knowledge, this glass is still of the highest refracting index ever produced and used in actual lens production. The refracting index of </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">ne 1.9005 </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">was a previously thought of as unattainable .</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a-zIbPSrI4k/UIHEJiK7ziI/AAAAAAAADXw/D8KbHayULaw/s400/Leitz+50mm+f1.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Noctilux 50mm f/1<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The predecessor of this lens was the original Noctilux 50mm f/1.2. Introduced in 1966, it was the first production lens with aspherical lens surfaces. At that time, this was an incredibly complicated process that required a fair amount of hand grinding of the elements. Subsequently the lens was priced accordingly. Even by today’s standards the lens was an incredible performer.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y63viZBA3lM/XGRr8w-7KgI/AAAAAAAAKp0/cEIrigD9SpkN9WjL7eo-qZTISAMdCOgWQCLcBGAs/s1600/Noctilux%2B50%2Bmm%2BF1.2.jpg" style="color: cyan; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="770" data-original-width="1176" height="261" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y63viZBA3lM/XGRr8w-7KgI/AAAAAAAAKp0/cEIrigD9SpkN9WjL7eo-qZTISAMdCOgWQCLcBGAs/s400/Noctilux%2B50%2Bmm%2BF1.2.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Iw2LAuirXXk/UIHEONDFcYI/AAAAAAAADYQ/rqJlbWHk8OI/s400/Noctilux+1.2.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="373" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Noctilux 50mm f/1.2<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">But the Noctilux line of lenses are not the only extremely fast lenses ever made by Leitz. There were several others which have come and gone. These were mostly special application lenses that had only limited use for general photography.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">One such lens was the ELCAN 90mm f/1. ELCAN was the trade name for Ernst Leitz Canada, the Canadian branch established by Leitz in 1952 in Midland, Ontario. The lens was made for the US Air Force as a special night photography application lens. Since focusing is very critical at that wide an aperture, and since the lens blocked most of the viewfinder because of its massive size, the lens had no focusing mount. Instead it came with three focus rings, engraved 50 meters, 100 meters and infinity.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><img height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HgSLgHoX8qM/UIHD6JWQmlI/AAAAAAAADXQ/73ZNL5E9-ls/s400/Leica+90mm+f1+b.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"> <img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YZ6EFwjD_pg/UIHD_PwLWqI/AAAAAAAADXY/WTgSbZvE-_w/s400/LEICA+M+90mm+f1%252C0+Elcan+from+US+Navy+Photograph.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">ELCAN 90mm f/1 with the infinity focus ring installed and the<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">50 meter and 100 meter focus rings in the foreground<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">But there were lenses with even higher speeds like the Leitz-IR 150mm f/0.85 and the Leitz Summar 75mm f/0.85. Very little is known about these two lenses. Apparently the 75mm f/0.85 Summar was used for x-ray photography while the 150mm f/0.85, considering the IR designation, appears to have been used specifically for infrared photography.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QQcuMcq2LcU/XGQ8JmaD-kI/AAAAAAAAKpo/y7jT2sH-WjQIQbE_YcO25P4LQN8_zXBhACLcBGAs/s1600/48921827_2014629905292297_8393809072251469824_n.jpg" style="color: cyan; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="417" data-original-width="600" height="277" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QQcuMcq2LcU/XGQ8JmaD-kI/AAAAAAAAKpo/y7jT2sH-WjQIQbE_YcO25P4LQN8_zXBhACLcBGAs/s400/48921827_2014629905292297_8393809072251469824_n.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Leitz 15cm (150mm) f/0.85<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pPchmDWrq6E/UIHELWPcGbI/AAAAAAAADYA/W5IrLRvu8nE/s400/Leitz+75mm+f-0.85+Summar.jpeg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Leitz 7.5 cm (75mm) f/0.85<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Finally, the two Leica speed champs were a 65mm f/0.75 and a 50mm f/0.75 lens. Both appear to have been designed specifically for x-ray photography. But I have seen regular color photographs made with one of them which looked quite interesting. They were mostly close ups of flowers, taken wide open. Needless to say, the depth of field was extremely shallow. Yet the in-focus areas actually looked quite good.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_uWCyNllWTE/UIHI1DZDlBI/AAAAAAAADaU/QcpewZtwE3o/s400/Leitz+65mm+f0.75.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">ELCAN 65mm f/0.75<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Thus we reached the end of this excursion into the world of super fast Leica lenses. For a while it was doubtful that we will ever see anything faster than the Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 in the future, but the rumor mill seems to indicate that Leica might be working on additional f/0.95 or even faster lenses. With the ever increasing high ISO capabilities of modern digital cameras, the need for any such lenses appear to be diminishing, on the other hand, the ability to isolate the subject from the background (and foreground) with such lenses has enabled an entirely different style of photography, previously unavailable. Stay tuned.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="font-feature-settings: normal;

Photography is definitely an important part of that. Thus it should come as no surprise that Leica equipment over the years has been chosen for a variety of missions.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">An interesting, but relatively unknown fact is that NASA initially had chosen the Leica MDa as the camera to be used on their lunar missions. The reason was weight. Of all the systems for the Apollo missions, one could never be tested because of the low gravity of the moon. That was the lunar take-off module. To gain as much of a weight advantage as possible, NASA did everything they could to save weight. That included the camera equipment. The Leica MDa with 50mm f/1.2 Noctilux was definitely lighter than anything Hasselblad, their regular camera of choice, had to offer. Leitz modified several cameras and lenses to feature large levers to allow camera operation with the bulky gloves of the space suits. The astronauts chosen for the lunar missions all received extensive training in the use of the camera.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nLKuatDh-8Y/UBGRXW0r2yI/AAAAAAAABQc/mYdniZ4sdtA/s640/NASA+Leica+M4.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BPljWIZ-wYI/U9fpYqVYo_I/AAAAAAAAEuk/IzRoWdt9Zr0/s640/NASA+Leica+M4+b.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">NASA Leica MDa. Modifications appear to be a soft shutter release, a larger shutter speed dial, an enlarged film wind lever a large rewind knob and an enlarged lever to open the camera. The top of the camera also has a beefed up plate with an accessory show attached. There is also an electronic connection of an unknown purpose in place of the PC connection.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Modifications of the lens are large levers for the aperture and focus settings, all designed for easy operation with the gloves of the space suits.<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Yet, as is common knowledge, the Leica never made it to the moon. The credit goes to one engineer who figured out that the interchangeable film backs for the Hasselblad were lighter than the Leica MDa with its Summilux lens. Subsequently NASA decided to use the Hasselblad after all. The Saturn 5 rockets had no problem delivering the payload to the moon. For the return trip it was subsequently decided to remove the film backs from the cameras and to leave the cameras and lenses on the moon where they still reside today. A total of 12 Hasselblad cameras and lenses are sitting in the lunar dust, ready to be picked up.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">An intriguing question is if they might be still able to operate properly after all these years in the extremely harsh environment of the lunar surface.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Since then a few more details about the NASA – Leica connection have emerged. One virtually unknown fact is that NASA also used the Leicafelx SL. For what purpose is unknown at this point. I have also found that in 1966, NASA ordered 150 Leica cameras. Unfortunately it was not stated which cameras they were.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QyCdi13clew/UBGRarVyDfI/AAAAAAAABQk/tOgEsKwRVnI/s640/NASA+Leicaflex.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">The camera appears to be without visible modifications other than the deeply knurled shutter speed dial to accommodate the heavy gloves of the space suits.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Already in the earliest stages of the NASA space program, Leica cameras were part of the equation. One such camera was the Leica Ig. With this camera astronaut John H. Glenn, Jr., took the first human-shot, color still photographs of the Earth during his three-orbit mission on February 20, 1962. Glenn's pictures paved the way for future Earth photography experiments on American human spaceflight missions.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NyDNhT59mq0/UBl2Yt1PFJI/AAAAAAAABV4/qeD7vZFyhiU/s640/Leica+Friendship+7+Viewfinder+2a.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Because Glenn was wearing a spacesuit, complete with helmet during his February 20, 1962 mission, he could not get his eye close to a built-in viewfinder. Therefore NASA selected the high-quality Leica Ig camera that allowed them to attach a customized viewfinder on top. This special attachment featured a suction cup on the back side to allow Glenn to easily place the device against the visor when he was required to keep it down. The viewfinder was removable when Glenn did not need his visor down, and a velcro strip on the rounded top let him manage its location inside the spacecraft. Glenn found the camera easy to use, in part because he could exploit the advantages of zero-gravity.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">"When I needed both hands, I just let go of the camera and it floated there in front of me," he said in his later memoir.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V3HCM0RKdvw/UBl2o01SZcI/AAAAAAAABWA/aIOYlfdWB6w/s400/Leica+Ig.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The 1957 Leica Ig was the last Leica screwmount model made, with production ending in 1963. It was the successor to the If and is the only screwmount camera with the word 'Leica' engraved on the front of the camera. This camera had the same profile as the IIIg but without the viewfinder/rangefinder incorporated into the top. As with both the Ic and If there were two accessory shoes mounted for attaching a separate viewfinder and rangefinder. The rewind knob was partially recessed into the top plate. As with the Ic and the If, the Ig was intended for scientific or Visoflex use.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">My continued research into Leica cameras that were used by NASA has yielded another interesting result. This Leica camera was used in conjunction with a spectrograph and was used on the Gemini V and VIII missions. Longer missions during the Gemini program gave astronauts more time for scientific experiments, often created and monitored by other government agencies or academic institutions. Scientists at the U.S. Weather Bureau (now NOAA) created this camera attachment so it could simultaneously record a spectrum and an infrared image to determine cloud heights.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="544" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L_R-uLtzlrw/UBv6iXcQEII/AAAAAAAABYg/E3iCtZGt3mo/s640/Leica+Spectograph.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">The camera appears to be a model M3. It is unknown if any special modification were necessary for this specialized use.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">However, NASA certainly is not the only branch of the US government that has used Leica equipment and a very important part of that was Ernst Leitz Canada, ELCAN under the initial leadership of Walter Kluck.

It entered the market in 1975 as the 180mm f/3.4 Apo Telyt R. Even today it ranks as one of the best lenses ever made for general photography.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">One of the most unusual military developments was an underwater camera system which Leitz developed for the US Navy. It primarily consisted of a complete set of lenses for underwater work, not only for 35mm cameras but also for medium format, 16mm motion picture and TV cameras. These were rather unique lenses because they were not part of a camera that was simply put into a water tight housing. Instead the lenses were designed to be exposed to the water with their front element. When designing such lenses, Leitz even took the refractive index of air into consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/Czmd-2sF4vS_e9Scbzytu0oxUgIDZru_tPhOFUClwKEWQwQrRiYKw7Duzpw8egRw4YUmUFYFAr2Kj-CIMKO3_Jt_8-XZ8_ev0c2m8mq8nhlfuE2Ku7HPKO2ammmOpH-L89W9NbykDfvUCu1e1UdXB8t9Bi6Bwl0QM0QZWxah8UbqJqyk-g=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial;

It was used to photograph Soviet ships that carried missiles to Cuba. The camera is a Leica MD, made in Canada, modified with only 3 shutter speeds, 1 / 250-500-1000sec, in gray hammertone finish. The camera was equipped with a special back including a handle with a shutter release and a built-I motor drive. The camera came with a Visoflex III and a special Elmarit 135mm f / 2.8 with focus locked at infinity. In some cases the camera had an extension tube instead of the Visoflex. A Summicron 90/2 was also available. Only 6 of this combination were ever made.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="347" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/g590i46Ibx65c5_-A8oF4ZmrvCTKgy77CeNicS6LvlmoUCsPGEP12j9QbyUwe2If20Epc0Gdu-QgiXuhmHEd3dKsFYxBF8FbyF0=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="640" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/heDGgdz-RzBaOju3jF8diZ76isTlCcBPGDvZuRNUIjLuhTdvQlqEAwUyxzgfi8-GQgBlokZo1ABUjT6iP8eNOFR5nfNX3XgmM54E=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="483" /> </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/C7GZeXbTzwO-BB1OIeT53IdQT8CFaLMUWJ0_xWjh330cbU7qeT9hLFs9SSL6lxSbI7xHxTr98vVvwLA8MfreD26mXTMPkA7qLgbN=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="484" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="632" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/Vsuq02MtZQVW2_xufXu3GeiIbNu-_KSMcOgAwSpGlB6uueN4gZbazS7nLvqaIjF8UltyHpfJ-q1kLaNxZUvOf97L39v4hoyp-Y-T=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">An unquantified number of the M4-MOT were made for the US Navy.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><img height="458" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/wAlLSIChgmf61-vCLiSuIMb8h64rSITbWidgHTo8ZVB9gDAMYeH53_2Q1GPrNl_34yTC-dCedU8tkAN24sZ4WD38sZMrfJeLqTU=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/mDwABuWP7wejagd-LVl9c5ruzpvSeCTgsFJ2DsvvUxJwyZWsnEbZi-lY8Nqlc2hzm3-vOMf-VIQ4IzIzqPrdPmFEUGzlXE-9Z7-f=s0-d" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The Elcan 90mm f/1 was a very rare fast lens made for the US Navy.

I don’t need to.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">This camera is the best 35mm film camera ever conceived or constructed. Chances are, you’re reading this because you’re a photographer interested in buying the best Leica that you can. Or perhaps you already own a Leica and just enjoy articles that continue to justify your substantial and tasteful purchase.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">In any case, there are enthusiastic blogs and articles about every Leica body out there. It would seem that every Leica M is very special. So I’m simply going to tell you, in a dispassionate, list format, why, compared to the M6 TTL .85, all the other Leica Ms out there are absolute trash.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the M6 TTL .85 is perfect for the type of shooting that I do and the absolute apex of human optical engineering, metallurgy, and industrial design. It may not be perfect for collectors or for other styles of shooting. But only losers shoot like that. And collectors are dweebs.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">So here’s why I bought and plan to always use, not shelve, my 1999 black chrome Leica M6 TTL .85, as if it’s not instinctively evident and obvious to any sentient being.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Light Meter</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><img height="411" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_100-800x514.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">If you’re going to buy a $2,000+ 35mm camera, it may as well contain a good, built-in light meter. While I appreciate the craftsmanship of M3s and M2s, impoverished Leica photographers such as myself cannot justify the financial outlay on something that can’t be used comfortably for paid shoots to return the investment.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Voigtlander Bessas are a joke. Their light meters are more like warning lights of impending mechanical failure. And Leica M-A shooters, if you wanted to prove to everyone that you know Sunny 16, a Barnack says “Luddite” much more clearly and affordably.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Classic M6 bodies are more affordable than TTL models, but I’ve never liked the idea of a two LED meter display. Reminds me of the Yashica GSN Electro. I’m not buying a f***ing piece of s*** Yashica, I’m buying a Leica. Even Nikon has three LEDs. The problem is that Leica LEDs cost about $500 each and I want three of them. Over, Under, Correct.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I don’t want to guess about what my meter is telling me. I want to be one with my meter. I want fast, accurate, easy operation. I knew the exposure before I pressed the shutter release halfway anyway, I’m just looking for agreement. The newer Bessas contain nine LEDs. Are you playing a video game or are you taking a picture?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The M6 TTL meter is the earliest Leica M that you can buy that contains the world’s highest quality center-weighted averaging meter built into any camera. I’ve never used another body with such a fine meter. The LEDs brighten and dim as you adjust, not simply turn on or off like a dispassionate binary automaton.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It’s the difference between playing a keyboard with weighted keys and not. And all Leica shooters are accomplished pianists. Very fine, accurate readout from a mere 6 ISO to 6400 ISO, not the lowly and unprofessional 1600 top ISO of the CL or 3200 of the M5 and inferior Bessa line.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">This is the same meter spec inside the current production, highly-regarded, highly-priced Leica MP. It’s the same type of meter that Leica removed from the MP to create the all mechanical M-A because it’s such a good meter that it has no business being mixed up inside a model which is intended to represent mechanical excellence alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="424" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_087-800x530.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">There’s a certain, famous Leica repair technician who has been discouraging her clients from buying an M6 TTL citing that Leica no longer supports the metering electronics. Around the Internet, you might hear people mindlessly warn about the failure of “the metering board” in M6 TTLs. But this is all horses***.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">While I don’t deny for a thousandth of a second that this certain famous Leica repair technician knows what she is talking about, I disagree with her reasoning and wonder if she simply doesn’t want to work on newer Leicas.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">While it’s true that Leica no longer supports electronic repair/replacement on the M6 TTL, one has to consider that these cameras are now about two decades old and were only manufactured for a few years. Additionally, Leica has long discontinued support on M6 and M5 meters, but nobody’s discouraging anyone from buying those models, whose meters still work by and large. So why tell people not to buy M6 TTLs because of this?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Are the M6 TTL meters prone to failure? I only own one M6 TTL and it’s always worked beautifully for me. I’m looking to buy a second one and have yet to stumble across any with noted bad meters. For a more qualified answer to this rumor, I asked Don Goldberg, AKA DAG, for his opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">First of all, he clarified that there are two circuit boards associated with the light meter in the M6 TTL so it’s pure silliness when people say “the board” is prone to failure. And he went on to say:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><i>I’ve had 2 Leica M6-TTL cameras in so far that needed new main circuit boards. That’s out of 489 M6-TTL cameras that I’ve had in for repair.” This was as of July 2019. And those two board replacements? “One of the circuit boards that was bad was due to someone removing the body shell without first removing parts that got in the way of the main board & damaged the board. The other one I think was defective & had to go to Leica, USA. All in all the M6-TTL is very reliable. I think the reason I’ve had 489 M6-TTL cameras in my shop is that they sold lots of them, people want complete overhauls eventually.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">So yeah.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Shutter Speed Dial</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="420" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_093-800x525.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">While it doesn’t match any other 35mm Leica body besides the recently discontinued M7, the reverse shutter speed dial of the M6 TTL is undeniably superior. Kowtowing to the meter again, the shutter speed dial rotates in the direction logical with the movement of the meter display. This is a nice feature for those of us who are real photographers and who demand not only precision of their camera haptics, but logic!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Additionally, the M6 TTL SS dial is much larger than other Leica SS dials, making it easy to operate with one finger in front of, not two fingers above the camera. This allows for much faster, professional operation.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Only amateurs use two fingers. Pros get it done with one!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Leica spent decades improving all the controls of the ancient Barnack rangefinders; replacing knobs with cranks and levers but the shutter speed dial was neglected until the M6 TTL. M5? Ha. I don’t even want to talk about the M5! And the SS dial is precisely where you need to commit to the M6 TTL.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">If you buy this camera, you will never want to use an M6, an M5, an M4, an M2, an M3 or even an MP to shoot alongside it. You will scoff at non-reputable Bessas and Canons. You will only want to buy another M6 TTL or M7. Or face certain muscle memory confusion and botch your photos. So you have to commit to the reverse shutter speed dial! COMMIT! Find an ordained minister and marry that son of a gun.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Magnification</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="426" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_072-800x533.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The M6 TTL was available in three different viewfinder magnifications. Late-model legacy M6s were too, and M7s, MPs, and MAs were also. But M6 TTL is the first Leica M body for choice in VF mag to be standard.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">After deciding if you want a meter or not, I believe that viewfinder magnification should be the second consideration you make when choosing a Leica M. Many people do not value the importance of this or are completely unaware of it when purchasing pre-M6 bodies where magnification was not a factory choice. What lenses you intend to use <b><a href="https://johnnymartyr.wordpress.com/2019/12/27/whats-your-effective-baselength/" style="color: cyan; text-decoration-line: none;">has a massive impact on which magnification you want/need.</a></b><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I use longer, faster lenses. My main kit is a 50mm f/1.5 and 90mm f/2. For a while, I even used a 135 f/3.5 and 75 f/2.5. 0.85 is perfect for my set up. And it’s perfect for everyone else too. With .85x mag, you get 35, 50, 75, 90 and 135mm framelines. You do not get 28. .72 gets 28 but its 135 lines are diminutive. .72 is nice if 35mm is your go-to length.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">With .85, 35 lines are at the perimeter of the viewfinder. Many recommend that eyeglass wearers avoid the .85 for this reason. I wear eyeglasses and have no issue with the 35mm framelines in use but admittedly, they’re not ideal. I don’t think you should let eyeglasses stop you from a .85 if 35mm is not your go-to focal length.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">What is nice about .85 is that the viewfinder is filled more, in other words, 135 doesn’t look like a tiny thumbnail and 50 is exactly how most shooters want it; with a room on the perimeter.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Baselength</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">.85x is as close to the M3’s .91x finder that you’re going to get. The Leica M3 boasts a 62.33mm EBL. The M6 TTL .85 is very close at 59.1mm and its baselength is actually slightly longer. The M6 TTL .85 is almost as accurate as the M3 but squeezes in those 35 and 75mm framelines that the M3 lacks.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Some people prefer the reduced “clutter” of these two focal lengths but the M6 TTL shooter is about real-world use. And since Leica shooters are wealthy, they can simply pay to have the unwanted framelines masked out. Most Ms have a 68.5mm baselength so even MPs and M6s that have .85x magnification have shorter EBLs than the M6 TTL .85 because its baselength is 69.53mm.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The M6 TTL’s RF patch and framelines are also brighter than the M3 courtesy of the fresnel illumination window and immunity to de-lamination. The .85x is the most versatile, accurate finder on any M or any 35mm rangefinder, period. And I am right. Anyone who disagrees is woefully ignorant and uninformed. I’ll tell you where you can shove your Contax and Kiev.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Condenser Lens</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="416" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_086-800x520.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">All M6s lack a condenser lens that prevents rangefinder patch white-out and veiling flare in certain lighting conditions. As the story goes, this optical element in the RF assembly was removed to make room for the light meter. Fortunately, those clever Leica engineers found a way to cram the element back into the mix with the MP. So now you can have your M6 RF upgraded to MP optics.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">For Legacy M6, this also means that the front RF window is replaced with a UV coated one, but the M6 TTL already has that. White-out and flare are of particular issue with the longer magnification finders and apparently not even noticeable with a .58. So if you are going with a .85 finder, you may also want to price in the MP upgrade. DAG did this for me within a few years of buying my M6 TTL and it has turned the best RF into the absolute BEST.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Casual shooters may not care. Casual shooters may not want the best. White-out and veiling flare are easily remedied by simply re-positioning when they occur. But I want my Leica to be fast and responsive. I wouldn’t stand for this brief moment of confusion and adjustment. The camera has to be perfect. And now, it is!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Zinc, Not Brass</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="424" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_076-800x531.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">All but special edition M6 TTLs feature cast zinc outer body shells, not stamped brass as is typical of the M series. People largely prefer brass because, as silver chrome or particularly black enamel wear down, the goldish brass that is revealed looks very attractive. The zinc plates of the M6 TTL are coated in a layer of silver/grey nickel and then silver or black chrome.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">As my M6 TTL’s black chrome top plate wears down, the dull gunmetal grey nickel has slowly appeared. I’ve read that the bottom plate is made of conventional brass but as the black chrome has worn off, the underlying metal is a shinier silver/white color like steel. Maybe there is a nickel or steel coating before the black chrome? Apparently zinc bottom plates were too rigid to latch onto the camera body the way that all other brass Leica rangefinder bottom plates fit on.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">One may be quick to assume that brass is a better metal because Leica returned to it for the MP and this is part of the reason for its significant price hike over the M6 TTL. But the thing about brass is that it bends fairly easily. Partly why it’s been used to cover classic camera frames for decades — it’s easy to stamp finely detailed shapes in brass.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Zinc is tougher than brass though. Under the same stress that would bend brass, zinc holds its shape and takes the beating. In fact, it will break, not bend. But I’ve read that in order for the zinc Leica top plate to break or crack, such force would have to be applied that the equivalent brass plate would have long crushed and destroyed the mechanism and electronics inside. Zinc is a good idea for a camera that is as small and heavy and precise as a Leica.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="426" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_077-800x533.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">While vacationing in the Dominican Republic, my wife accidentally threw my M6 TTL .85 from its Domke bag, off of a table, across the ceramic floor of our suite. A few years later, while changing lenses without the neckstrap on, I dropped the M6 TTL from about three feet, square onto an unfinished concrete floor of an art studio. While exiting my Land Rover, the M6 TTL was dropped from the car door, onto a sidewalk where it bounced once before destroying the Voigtlander 50mm Nokton that was mounted.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">None of these incidents affected the RF calibration, shutter accuracy, or meter functionality in the slightest from what I could tell. In each case, the camera went straight back to shooting like nothing happened. So maybe it’s time to get over our superficial love of ostentatious brass and choose the superior metal for our workhorses.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I don’t give a s*** if collectors pooh pooh my Leica’s silver/grey battle scars because my focus is tight and accurate for the thousands of shots I take while their brass beauties are shelf-bound. The M6 TTL is factually tougher and harder wearing than the more costly MP or even the arguably more finely crafted M3.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Bubbling in the chromed zinc finish has occurred in some cases. You see some cheap M6s listed on eBay that appear to have smallpox. And while this was a real concern in the 80s and 90s when these cameras were new, now you can just buy a copy with a good finish and not worry about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Storing the zinc bodies in their original fitted leather case was supposedly the cause. Some kind of unexpected reaction between the zinc and chemicals in the case material. That’s what you get for casing your camera for so long.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">In the decade that I’ve kept and used my M6 TTL in the humid East Coast air, it has some scratches and wear but no trace of dents or smallpox. Its silhouette is perfectly intact.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The grey through matte black chrome has a very handsome industrial look to me and the camera retains its low profile appearance. It’s not screaming to be ogled like gloss black and bright brass sheen as they catch sunlight. Some special edition M6 TTLs actually have brass bodies. These M6 TTLs are traitors.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Height</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">M6 TTLs and M7s are 2.5mm taller than previous Ms. I like to think of the M6 TTL as standing more proudly than other Ms. The height increase takes place between the lens mount and viewfinder system and was apparently done to accommodate the additional electronics and reverse shutter speed dial mechanism.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Because the view/rangefinder windows sit up higher from the lens, finder blockage by hoods is reduced. And this is good because faster/longer lenses which are physically larger and prone to causing blockage work well with this finder and its super long effective baselength.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Just don’t try mounting a Dual Range 50 Cron and its unsightly goggles. But then, why would you run such a slow lens on such a precise body?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Film Advance Lever</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="426" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_066-800x533.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Many people whine about the articulate plastic-tipped advance lever of the M6 TTL and denounce it for not being a solid brass part. While I initially fell into this camp, I have become convinced that these people aren’t actually using their cameras.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Yes, solid metal is wonderful, but that pivoting plastic tip allows one to shoot in colder temperatures sans icy fingers (plastic) and maintain a good grip on the camera and lever (pivot).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It’s possible to have a solid metal lever fitted to an M6 TTL and in fact, some special editions have it as standard so if this is a sticking point for you, it’s possible to resolve. But if you can afford your Leica to have downtime for this kind of cosmetic upgrade, you’re not shooting enough, slacker!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Negatives</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">So those were my pluses for the Leica M6 TTL .85. Do I have any minuses for the world’s most perfect camera? Believe it or not, I do. But only because I’m an uptight, persnickety prick.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Because the view/rangefinder windows are not framed on the front of the top plate like an M3, (I like to think of the M6 as “sans serif”) it’s very easy to smear ones sweaty fingers across the windows during fast-paced shoots. So I find myself wiping them clear with my shirttail or necktie from time to time.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It’s kind of a double-edged sword though; because they’re not recessed and smear easily, they also clean more easily. The M3 windows can get crud build-up around their perimeter due to being less easy to clean there.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><img height="428" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_080-1-800x536.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I’ve got to be honest, the diminutive rewind knob is some sort of emasculation punchline. I don’t know why this minuscule knob has survived on Leica Ms as long as it has. Yes, the angled crank à la M4 is an angled derby hat of class. You might not realize it but the angle does actually help one get a firm grip on the body and wind away on the crank. However, that knob is just too small to get a good grip on.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I will never understand why the good people at Leica or their detail-obsessed followers wouldn’t have turned this over generations ago. Maybe nobody else rewinds as fast as I do? I don’t know.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Have a look at the Olympus OM series. The camera bodies themselves are very tiny and compact but with very large, easily handled controls. The wind knob on an OM SLR is a behemoth by comparison to the M6 TTL. I can windmill that thing fast enough to get a 36 exposure roll back in the canister faster than a motor drive.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The only practical solution for Leica’s little knob is to buy a second Leica so you aren’t in such a hurry to rewind.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><img height="429" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/nikonfm2nmicro50_082-800x537.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">A 1/2000th or even 1/4000th top shutter would be nice. By the late 70s/early 80s, it wasn’t uncommon for professional cameras to have 2000 or 4000 top shutter speeds. So why does even the current production MP stop at a sluggish 1000? It has something to do with physical limits on the ancient design of Leica’s deeply revered cloth focal-plane shutter mechanism, which hasn’t changed much from the Oskar Barnack period.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Some will tell you that Leicas aren’t even reliably calibrated for 1/1000th. But this is all just getting heretical now. As a 35mm Leica photographer, you will stop at 1000 and you will love 1000 and I won’t utter any more treason against it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Closing Words</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">So as you can see, the Leica M6 TTL .85 is the pinnacle of anachronistic 35mm camera design and construction.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Collectors can turn their musty dusty noses up at the M6 TTL’s unapologetic implementation of modern manufacturing materials.

Here’s a tip: start with the lenses! Effective Base Length, or EBL, is often left with little or no consideration by SLR shooters looking for their first interchangeable lens rangefinder.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Review after review will sing praises of a bright viewfinder, numerous (or lack of) framelines and a plethora of other features that are more on the mind of SLR shooters (like shutter speed range, light meter, and loading).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Those are all important, but the thing that I don’t think that many photographers grasp is that one must choose their rangefinder based first on what lenses they want to shoot with.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">And this is where EBL comes into play.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="428" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/johnnymartyrlonglenses-800x536.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Leica M6 TTL .85 with 75 & 90mm lenses.

And you can shoot wide lenses with a rangefinder of any Base Length, but a shorter one might be preferable for wider built-in framelines. You see, Base Length and angle of view are a balancing act. The longer your EBL, the narrower your view, the shorter your EBL, the wider your view can be.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Many people use 50mm f/2 or 35mm f/2 lenses and don’t think much about EBL. And that’s fine. But step up to simple upgrades like a 50mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, 90mm f/2 or 28mm f/2.8, and your body preference may also need to change. More extreme lenses like 21mm and 13mm or wider will definitely require EBL consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">If wide-angle lenses are your primary lens but you sometimes use a normal or long lens, choose a rangefinder with EBL appropriate to your longest/fastest lens and then use an accessory shoe finder with your wide lenses. Veritably any EBL can focus a 15mm but only longer ones can focus a 90mm f/2 so you may have to cater to that long/fast lens when choosing a rangefinder.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="427" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/tricia56934458572_e736c8c5c5_b-800x534.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Voigtländer Bessa R2, 15mm 4.5 Heliar, Fuji Pro 400H</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">However, if you mainly shoot wide-angle lenses and have another body for long/fast lenses or simply don’t use them at all, you may want to consider choosing a body with a very short EBL as this often comes with additional wide-angle framelines built into the viewfinder.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Bodies like the Voigtländer Bessa R4M and R4A have framelines down to 21mm and any .58 magnification Leica M has them down to 28mm. If you shoot these lengths frequently, it’s nice not to have to buy a dedicated viewfinder or to have that slight additional size atop your camera. If you don’t just use hyperfocal distance, it’s helpful to have the rangefinder focusing in the viewfinder that you’re using to compose too as this makes for faster shooting.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">If you mainly shoot on fast or long lenses, you simply cannot skimp on a good, long EBL. My first interchangeable lens RF was the Voigt Bessa R2 which has an EBL of only 25.53mm. With it, I was running a 50mm f/1.5 Nokton. For months, I was under the impression this fantastic lens sucked because the R2 was simply incapable of making a sharp photo at full aperture and/or close distance. It was a really stupid rig.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="428" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/johnnymartyrstupidvoigtlander-800x536.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Voigtländer Bessa R2 with 50mm & 75mm lenses, EBL = 25.53mm</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It was only when I bought my Leica M6 TTL 0.85 with its killer 59.1mm EBL that I got full use out of that brilliant Nokton lens and I now reserve the R2 for shooting with a 15mm 4.5 Heliar!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">But yeah, you just can’t reliably get shots like this image below with the 50mm Nokton 1.5 at full aperture, close distance, in low light without reasonably long EBL.

It comes down to a long EBL and of course a correctly calibrated lens and body.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">People associate rangefinders with 50mm and wider lenses but shooting up to 135mm f/3.5 with an RF is totally possible and quite enjoyable/useful if one simply has enough EBL for the job.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It’s fine if you’re dipping your toe into rangefinder photography by picking up a sub $200 fixed lens RF like a Canonet, Olympus 35, Konica or even an Argus C3 Brick. These cameras feature 40mm to 50mm length lenses of reasonable speed fitted to them and short EBLs that are good enough for that single lens at middle to far distances.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13pt; text-align: center;"> </span><img src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/konicaiii_johnnymartyr_d20_3121-800x536.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; text-align: center;" /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Konica III with fixed 48mm f/2 Hexanon, EBL = Who knows, but probably in the 20s<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">But if you are interested in exploring the benefits of using wide lenses and short telephotos on a rangefinder body, it’s critical to understand what EBL does for you. Because the camera that a wide-angle shooter would be best off buying would likely be a different camera than a portrait shooter would want.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Understanding EBL can illuminate why one might prefer a screw mount Leica with its diminutive and separate view and rangefinder windows over a cheaper, easier to load Canon P or a new, metered Bessa, which, on the surface can appear to be a vastly smarter buy.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Believe it or not, those little Leicas from the 30s through 50s can focus much more precisely than a popular P or Bessa R, even if the experience of looking through them doesn’t inspire confidence! The early Leicas have a 58.5mm EBL while the often praised Canon P is only 41mm and the usual recommended upgrade, the Canon 7, is only 47.2mm. The longest Voigtländer Bessa, besides the T, is a mere 37mm EBL.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="480" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/img_0398-800x600.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">Canon VI-L with 50mm f/2 Summitar, EBL (variable) = 28.7mm, 41mm, 61.5mm<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Most Leica Ms with .72 magnification only have a 49.32mm EBL. This isn’t much better than the Canon 7 or P. But like I said, totally adequate for your garden variety 50 or 35mm f/2.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Long EBL isn’t EVERYTHING. A dim finder, an RF that’s not very contrasty or isn’t perfectly calibrated to a particular lens, or even just a focusing patch that is not shaped to your preference can all throw off a camera boasting a very long EBL. Additionally, a bright finder, a contrasty, rectangular patch and perfect calibration on a short EBL body with a slower lens might nail focus effortlessly every time. Many people say they don’t like the 35mm framelines on the Leica M6 TTL .85 because they are right at the edge of the finder window.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">So there’s a lot that goes into what makes a rangefinder camera perfect for your specific needs as a photographer. There is certainly much more to consider than when purchasing an SLR and slapping any old lens on it then off you go! Rangefinder selection requires technical understanding and forethought. But in my eyes, it should all begin with what lenses you plan to shoot and what EBL is best for those lenses.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><img height="423" src="https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2020/01/johnnymartyr1930leica-800x529.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">1930 Leica with 50mm f/2 Summar, EBL = 58.5mm<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Below, please find a pretty comprehensive chart that I’ve compiled of popular interchangeable lens rangefinders and what their EBLs are.
