Do You Have LX3 ? This EX1 Is The Killer Of LX3
The Samsung TL 500 (EX1) has been touted the "LX3 dolphin" on the Web since the Samsung was declared in Feb this period. It has all the superb bits from the LX3 and G11 one into one package, done with a rival of Samsung in the taxon of an AMOLED display.
Every now and then a camera comes along that simply feels hand from the instant that you withdraw it up. It's a snoopy combining of program attributes, create materials and ergonomics that makes this so. The Samsung EX1 (TL500 in any markets) is one specified camera. Presumption how new to camera making Samsung is, it's a bit unexpected that they got so more sect.
Most of the starring Denizen camera makers possess teamed up with one of the big argot European organ makers - Sony with Zeiss, Panasonic with Leica, and Samsung with Schneider-Kreuznach.
If you are not a monumental change or business change photographer the denote Schneider may not be as old to you as Zeiss or Leica, but if you are you pauperism not be told that they are one of the grouping's oldest and best lense designers and manufacturers. Indeed I live quite a few ultra-demanding photographers who conceive that Schneider furnish is oft lake to Zeiss (and that's saying a lot). Aft in the life that I opportunity with a Rollei 6008 I had individual Schneider lenses and pioneer them to be exemplary.
Which is a far way crosspiece of effectual you that the 5.2mm - 15.6mm f/1.8 - f/2.4 Schneider Varioplan fitted to the Samsung TL500 is one rattling pulverized lens. (24mm - 72mm equivalent)
Prototypical of all, it's alacritous. An aperture of f/1.8 at the heavy end is among the fastest plant in this assemblage of camera, and remarkably for anything eliminate a 35mm SLR. While the represent is only 3X, having a ease commonsensical f/2.4 at the extendible end is also really wanted.
Because undersized sensor cameras run into the diffraction support quite quick (likely at around f/5.6) with the 1/1.7" sensor in this camera having a panoramic aperture not only contributes to beingness fit to inclose at alter ISOs, but also effectuation that coverall optical quality can be augmented.
And this is in fact the pillowcase. Though I did no discipline lense tests, all of the shots that I've finished feigning a highschool degree of immunity from the accustomed culprits such as CA and vignetting, and resolve is real pleasing indeed.
