Leica Summarit-M,Change of Leica

Leica was issued four lens called Summarit-M,Erwin Puts bewrited a report to talk about the design and the change of  product strategy with the  new Leica lens.

In fact, Leica as the best of  lens factory for 135 area give a bad account of oneself in this two years.The price of the lens remain high.Even the lens Summarit-M come out with the 'good price for the good lens',still very expansive.

As we can see,the price letting Leica far away from the photographer now.

What ever,Leica still my favorite.

1.The new Summarit-M continue Leica len's pursue of quality and standard.From the imaging,the test sounds that,Summarit-M as good as Summicron.

2.Leica still face to the trouble of economic globalization,it is very hard for Leica to join into the system of economic globalization because of the culture history of Euro.Resolve the problem of cost become a big problem.
3.Summarit-M of Leica is design for the M8 and M7.Go with Summarit-M, M8 and M7 can more convenient to put in to the hand bag.

4.The biggest competitor of new Summarit-M lens are not Zeiss or Cosina,but the Summicron of Leica in the Second-hand Market.

5..The new Summarit-M lens are improve from the old Summicron lens,you can find that from the price of  them:

Summicron 35 = 34.5; 53; E39; 255 gr; 0.7 meter; Euro 2150
Summarit 35 = 34.0; 51.4; E39; 220 gr; 0.8 meter; Euro 1250
Summicron 50 = 43.5; 53; E39; 240 gr; 0.7 meter; Euro 1450
Summarit 50 = 33.0; 51.5; E39; 230 gr; 0.8 meter; Euro 1000
Summicron 75 = 66.8; 58; E49; 430 gr; 0.7 meter; Ero 2395
Summarit 75 = 60.5; 55; E46; 345 gr; 0.9 meter; Euro 1250
Summicron 90 = 78; 64; E55; 500 gr; 1 meter; Euro 2595
Summarit 90 = 66.5; 55; E46; 360 gr; 1 meter; Euro 1250

About the Street photography between London and Beijing

That day I got a brief of London street photography through the ages from my tutor.That's a very  interesting topic.As we know,the history of London, its murderers and heroes, its keepers and denizens, can be found in its streets as in no other city in the world. Like the city itself the images on display are full of grief, irony and delight, sometimes touched by madness, sometimes by desire.

Compare with Beijing street photography's history.20 years before,people in Beijing less communicate with each other.Lots of photography are just about the building and the street. They were busy with make a living.But from this years,everything change,you could not find this beijing anymore now.
More photos about the topic take you back to last century in Beijing
I would like to do more research about this topic.

Nikkor 18-200mm VR zoom lens review


These days I m looking for some information about lens for my lecture.And my topic of the lecture is Principle to support the choice of lens in Documentary Photography.I tried to explaim what lens should be use most in Documentary Photography,and analyse them.I want to give some propose in the end.What ever,I think all the photos depends on the topic and the photographer's personal preference. But the good lens alway cost a lot of money.Sometimes we can't buy all the lens.For the one lazy to take a lot of lens.It inclued the wide-angle lens ,standar lens and Telephoro lens.Good for test.

Review of Hokkaido

Name of the book: Hokkaido
Author: Moriyama Daido
publication time: 2008 (Limited 1500)

This book looks like a panoramic view of Hokkaido. The film with coarse granule but shows delicate. The pictures not only high contrast but also to express the details. After I saw the photos, I can see the view of the different weather, and feeling the element of women ,naive children ,animals.  There are the view of Hokkaido from Moriyama Daido's camera. He used the same way to talk about Japan and human emotion. He has no idea why he would be interesting in the topic about this dark area.
He said, Maybe the whole city is made of labyrinth, Drive me crazy.
Why I want to recommend this book called Hokkaido?





Because not only the photos, but also his own emotion in that time shows Moriyama Daido's resolution of photos accumulate. I didn't see the real book because it is limited. It is 5.2 kg. And large quantity of works in this photography collection is the most huge one of Moriyama Daido. From his 30 years visual work in this book shows the professional design, print and bookbinding.
