Talk:Leica Camera

Leica lens design
Leica built its early business on the outstanding quality of its design and especially its lens design....but there is no mention of this or how the lenses were designed and the glass used. At the time when Leica was growing Zeiss was doing its utmost to better Leitz quality using innovative designs and new glass formulations - what was Leitz doing to stay ahead?

Any answers much appreciated.  Velela  Velela Talk 21:43, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure why Leica doesn't make 35mm movie lens or movie camera's? They make great lens as it would be great to see a movie camera from Leica versing Panavision. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.229.251 (talk) 00:49, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

They do make Cine lenses... In fact they've won awards: "An Academy Scientific and Engineering Award was presented to Iain Neil for the optical design and André de Winter for the mechanical design of the Leica Summilux-C lenses." Also, this article has a lot of information about the history of leica's cinematic lenses. Photobro (talk) 20:04, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Leica and the smartphones
The Chinese company Huawei includes in its smartphones photo and vídeo cameras designed by Leica AG. The first model with these Leica cameras was the Huawei P9. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.46.198.173 (talk) 10:15, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Upgrades
I know it’s original research, but I can attest that Leitz upgraded my old Leica IIIc to IIIf specifications around 1963 or so. FWIW. Maurice Fox (talk) 01:26, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Company history?
The company history, which looks like it was translated from the source (not good), was added in this edit from December 2017. It seems to have information already present in the article under History, and having two sections like this is problematic anyway. I don't speak Germany and don't know that much about the subject though, so I'm not sure I would be a good candidate to clean this up. Can someone familiar with the subject help? —Ynhockey (Talk) 06:58, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Long overdue for splitting
It's telling that the very first discussion in the archives is about how long this is. It is massively overdue for a split. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 20:08, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
