1 thought on “Why is the Leica camera so expensive? What is good for brands such as Binniko?”

Well, this is difficult to answer. I have used most of the Leica bearing camera, and I have also used Nikon and Canon SLR. It is a professional photographer and picture editor. I also took a lot of projects, long -term and short -term. I will share my personal experience with you:
The reason for Leica's expensive is not that it must be better than Nikon. How much is Canon? Intersection The earliest Nikon and Canon were also producing beam -axis cameras, competing with Leica in Germany, and later lost to Leica in the field of sideline. After a large format camera, after medium format, can the birth of Little Leica not attractive! The Leica body is very strong, but the current model will also have some small problems. It is more water -work than the original camera. Leica's lens is undoubted. It must be more personal than Nikon Canon. Leica is small, light, workmanship, workmanship Relatively good, and the shutter life is relatively good for Nikon and Canon.
, after all, Leica is a rangefinder camera, such as sports, landscapes, etc. I want to come on the other hand that is more affordable. Essence It is a multi -faceted hand, so depending on the problem depends on what equipment you are suitable for. Leica is more suitable for street shooting and long -term documentary projects.
Why is LV so expensive?
Why are apple mobile phones so expensive?
Cuuding things are not necessarily easy to use, and good things are not necessarily expensive.
Telaca as a century -old German company, most products still adhere to the rigorous production of Germans. Leica cameras have been on the stage of history very early. If it is not the rapid rise of Japanese cameras, maybe now The development of the camera will not be so fast. In World War II, the Leica camera was almost every battlefield reporter. The favorite of journalists. Until now, Leica's most representative M series still maintains manual focusing, and it is really in parameters. It cannot be compared with the products of Japanese manufacturers.
Leica camera knows that his opponent is not actually Canon Nikon, but is produced according to his own rhythm, and enters the art field and fashion circle. Slowly shooting, even micro -single cameras, are huge, fully guaranteeing optical imaging. Therefore, in the past, Leica was often given as gifts. This represents a symbol of identity to a certain extent, even if Leica is not easy to use.
Because Leica is an old -fashioned optical brand, and German artificial things are still relatively solid, so the quality of Leica lens is very good, combined with the best optical design, and the lens materials are sufficient. Therefore, Leica uses Leica to use Leica The camera is a kind of enjoyment itself, so even if many people know that Leica is not easy to use, they also want to have a Leica camera with a symbol of identity. shell.
In analogy: If you keep your body warm, you may not buy Armani clothes.
This problem, I feel a little bit known, why don't you ask why the LV bag Hermes silk scarf is expensive? However, there are indeed many people who really want to take the bottom out to see if Leica is really worthwhile to see if Leica is really better than Canon Nikon.
In you have to say how good the Leica Q is, I think it really talks a little closed eyes
For this camera, taste Leica culture, it is enough
From the perspective of function and performance, in fact, the Leica camera is really not worth the price, especially the Leica SL in the middle of the picture above. The key is that there is no collection value. At least, Leica M10MP still has the value of collection!
It unknown, there are many things in China now, once the intangible cultural heritage is rated, the price has soared. Of course, Leica is not a fixed intangible cultural heritage. Leica is a living intangible cultural heritage?
Her leave the price, let's talk about what characteristics of Leica are:
a, Leica's essence lies in the M -series beamon camera. This rangefinder camera once represented the world The latest trend of the camera industry, but the rangefinder camera has been completely replaced by the SLR camera, which is also a historical fact.
B, Leica's essence lies in the photography lens, and it is the lens of the Leica rangefinder camera, not the Leica SLR lens. Well, Leica has also produced SLR.
The lens of Leica's rangefinder. Compared with the SLR lens, it does have some design advantages. At the same time, because Leica does not compromise, or Leica is not committed to creating cameras and lenses for the poor, it is basically eliminated by Japanese manufacturers who are determined to popularize the camera.
In in order to make more people use the camera, Japanese manufacturers do have to work. This must be admitted. However, while pursuing popularization, Japanese manufacturers can only continue to compromise. Leica insists on high standards and never compromises.
Therefore, from the perspective of the lens, Leica can indeed exert a larger space.
c, from a practical perspective, in most cases, in fact, SLR is more practical, or cheap cameras are more practical.
D, from the perspective of imaging quality, after all, the Oaks of the Leica camera are not very high. It cannot be compared with these cameras such as Nikon D850 Sony A7R3.
It at most you can only say that the Leica lens has a special virtue. As for the imaging quality of the entire system, it is still not the top.
e, from a functional perspective, Leica's rangefinder camera is also mainly manual focusing. Small Leica all -in -one or Leica micro -single, although it can also be automatically focusing, the performance should be non -mainstream.
I use Leica to feel Leica's imaging casually. In order to make you see more intuitive, some are straight out, and some pass the film color adjustment software called K22. It is not beneficial to say that as long as you make such a movie with Japanese cameras and lenses, I have nothing to say.
Leica is a well -known German optical brand with a history of more than 100 years. The earliest production of 35mm -side axis film camera was produced. Later, it also produced a film SLR camera, a fixed lens pocket camera, and a fool camera. In the digital age, Leica also produces a full-frame M series digital camera, medium-to-scatter digital SLR camera, APS-C frame digital camera. Leica products have always been known for their high -quality and high -quality prices. Products are more expensive than the same type and same -grade Japanese products such as Nikon and Canon. There are several reasons:
1. The main reason is the brand value. The name Leica, who knows photography, has a sense of respect when he hear. This is accumulated by a variety of classic products for more than 100 years, representing excellent quality, good durability and elegant art. It has been separated from photography and becomes a kind of art;
2. Leica products do have top quality, especially mechanical quality and optical quality. Its philosophy is very different from Japanese products, and the cost of pursuing the extreme at the expense of cost. From the material and work office, the top is the standard, rather than the pursuit of quality and cost -effectiveness of Japanese manufacturers. For example, some of Leica's digital camera fuselage was cut from a whole piece of aluminum alloy. The half -brick -sized aluminum alloy finally left a thin layer of fuselage shell, and 90%were cut off. This is just to be light and strong. Therefore, its cost is also higher than Japanese products, resulting in higher prices;
3. In the past 20 years, the degree of automation of cameras has become higher and higher. complex. Especially the digital camera, its core is electronic image processing. And these are not the strengths of traditional Leica cameras. They can only cooperate with Japanese manufacturers to purchase light -sensitive components, autofocus components, fuselage anti -shake systems and other components or technologies. This also increases the cost of camera.
In short, although the Leica camera is expensive, it is expensive.
The history of the birth and development of Leica, I wo n’t say much. Various legendary materials can be found online. Talking around the problem now.
. When Leica created a 35mm camera from the beginning, it adheres to the must make a small and high -quality lens that matches it, especially its M series rangefinder camera can be said to be the spokesperson of the Leica camera. The M series of lenses use the most advanced optical design at that time, and the best lens to make it to further improve the quality of the picture, and add the non -spherical lens that improves the plane image field to correct the floating focus design of the focusing rope. There are also APO color difference correction design, as well as their own coating. These four are the biggest reasons for the Leica lens to the world. Therefore, the Leica camera mentioned on the rivers and lakes is basically all in Leica all. In fact, this is one -sided. I personally think that the Leica sideline M series camera is the most traditional heir of Leica.
. As for Japanese manufacturers such as Nikon, Canon, Sony (Meta), Benne, Ricoh, etc., as long as those who understand the history of the camera development know, the manufacturers led by Canon and Nikon are at the beginning. Improve the development of Leica's body. It coincided with the rapid development of Japan at that time, but it could only be imitated in the fuselage. Optical design and lens materials were not as deep as Leica. To this day, the Japanese factory occupies the market on a large scale due to the pursuit of mass and standardization. If you look at the quality, volume, design, and material alone, Leica still maintains a very high level -the cost is low output and high price.
The German camera industry has disappeared in the era of electronic focusing.
Leica camera M series is the LOGO of Panasonic camera directly. Most of the other are Japanese foundry.
Where is Leica? The same model is different from the Japanese machine. Of course, because the price is expensive, sometimes some parameters will be higher.
Why are Leica expensive? It is feelings. But it is not an exaggeration to say that it must be a machine that Nikon or Canon or Fuji or Bin Ge, and change to a logo. Of course, small sales are also the main reason for your expensive.
The German will not create CCD photosensitive devices, automatic light metering systems, and electronic shutters will not be used. Just hand -made lenses to allow you to experience the color of Germany. In fact, most of the German lenses in the 1960s were already in Japan.
The manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, and Kyocera of Japan often release best -selling German OEMs. Contex is simply Beijing porcelain.
S especially in the Digital Age rookie Panasonic and Sony will engage in a German certification lens. Canon, Nikon, Benne, and Fuji have long no longer needed German lenses.
The Rica in the film era is very expensive because of cost and commercial operation. Lycra in the digital age is very expensive as a business gimmick.
Tereca film camera is good at high quality failure. It is necessary to say that the function of use cannot be compared with SLR.
By the way, a topic is that the so -called "strong high -belligence virtue" is also blown out after the digitalization of Leica in recent years. In fact, it is not the fact. In the era of black and white film, it doesn't matter. After the launching water -soluble color film in 1936, Ekk issued a German -style color style in low contrast, low saturation, and warm tone. Kodakhm's strong puppet reverse color. The style of the following photo is the real "virtue".
