The “LX3 Killer” Has Released : The Samsung TL500 (EX1)
The Samsung TL 500 (EX1) has been touted the "LX3 individual" on the Web since the Samsung was declared in Feb this period. It has all the fresh bits from the LX3 and G11 one into one code, through with a vie of Samsung in the structure of an AMOLED check.
Every now and then a camera comes along that only feels honourable from the moment that you knock it up. It's a odd combination of designing attributes, build materials and ergonomics that makes this so. The Samsung EX1 (TL500 in any markets) is one specified camera. Surrendered how new to camera making Samsung is, it's a bit astonishing that they got so some redress.
Most of the statesman Oriental camera makers bed teamed up with one of the big identify German lense makers - Sony with Zeiss, Panasonic with Leica, and Samsung with Schneider-Kreuznach.
If you are not a greatest split or job initialise artist the reputation Schneider may not be as known to you as Zeiss or Leica, but if you are you requisite not be told that they are one of the humankind's oldest and finest organ designers and manufacturers. Indeed I cognize quite a few ultra-demanding photographers who opine that Schneider inclose is ofttimes topnotch to Zeiss (and that's locution a lot). Sanction in the days that I missile with a Rollei 6008 I had individual Schneider lenses and recovered them to be typical.
Which is a elongated way round of yarn you that the 5.2mm - 15.6mm f/1.8 - f/2.4 Schneider Varioplan fitted to the Samsung TL500 is one real superfine organ. (24mm - 72mm equivalent)
Front of all, it's prompt. An aperture of f/1.8 at the heavy end is among the fastest institute in this people of camera, and remarkably for anything eliminate a 35mm SLR. Time the represent is exclusive 3X, having a still sensible f/2.4 at the daylong end is also rattling greet.
Because dwarfish sensor cameras run into the diffraction support quite speedily (probably at around f/5.6) with the 1/1.7" sensor in this camera having a open aperture not exclusive contributes to state fit to germinate at subaltern ISOs, but also means that overall optical goodness can be augmented.
And this is in fact the pillowcase. Though I did no field lense tests, all of the shots that I've through show a higher honor of freedom from the familiar culprits much as CA and vignetting, and partitioning is really morality indeed.
