Цитата:от:Гудков Георгий
Если вы думаете, что дальномерной Лейкой снимают только снобы, то вы ошибаетесь. Она предлагает великолепное качество картинки. Ручную сборку. Высокую надежность. И свойства камеры, каких у други брендов просто нет.Подробнее
Это миф. Лейко-Миф.

Charon the Ferryman's House, Princeton, California. Saturday Morning,18 April 2009. enlarge.
This was snapped with a Leica M7 and Leica 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M ASPH lens at f/2.8 at 1/45, with a 46mm Hoya HMC 81A filter.
Here's another version:

Charon the Ferryman's House, Princeton, California. Saturday Morning,18 April 2009.
Can you tell what changed? You shouldn't have to look very hard.
Isn't is obvious? Doesn't the superior sharpness, color fidelity, subtle gradation of tone and color, superior highlight and shadow detail, definition and delineation and the overall "glow" just scream that the first photo was made with an $8,600 Leica M7 and Leica 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M ASPH lens, while the second photo was made with a $15 Olympus 35RC and its clearly inferior 42mm f/2.8 E-Zuiko lens?
Leica Man, where is your aura of bokeh to save you? Where are your complicated technical explanations of why your camera is superior? Have you lost your words? Why cannot your superior camera make superior photos to my garage-sale cutie? Does not your camera make you a better man than I? (If you're not getting the humor, try imagining these words in the voice of Mike Myers playing Dr. Evil.)
Does ASPHERICAL describe your space ship? What does ASPHERICAL mean? Is it the shape of Salgado's head? (It turns out that Sebastião Salgado, one of the worlds greatest photographers of all time, who also shot Leica, upgraded in 2004 to the inexpensive Pentax 645 for its superior technical quality to allow him to hang larger prints, and then got tired of carrying it and now shoots a Canon Mk III, or so I'm told.)
I can't see any difference, and this is exactly why Leica men are superior to us. (Actually, the 35RC has superior bokeh to the Leica 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M ASPH, but it doesn't really matter for lenses this short .) The Leica man clearly sees all these things, and much more, between these two pictures. The only reason I brought a Leica on this trip is because it weighs so much less than a Nikon F6, or even the lenses for a lighter Nikon.
Actually there are some differences between these images, other than the sweet smell of an extra $8,585 in your pocket. The color balances are slightly different because I had a KR1.5 filter on the Olympus and an 81A on the Leica, since I have no 81A for the Olympus' screwy 43.5mm x 0.5mm filter thread.
The Olympus was shot at 1/30 and auto chose about f/3.1, so it's running wide-open, where it's the least sharp.
If I blow up both images to 48" (120cm) wide I can see some slight sharpness differences, and those are the minutiae about which I speak when I write reviews. These slight differences make no difference in actual shooting. The only reason I mention lens sharpness in reviews is because all you people ask, and it gives me something to write about. All lenses since about the 1930s have been sharp enough; get over it.
