Buy Xiao Hong standard camera? Leica Leica Sofort Polaroid Camera Unpacking Comment

In fact, Polaroid is the name of Polaroid's Taiwanese translator. The correct name for this kind of instant camera should be "an imaging camera." There are many brands of this type of camera on the market, but in recent years, the most popular is the Fuji instax series. Even Germany's Leica has taken a fancy with this, and cooperated with Fujitsu to create a Leica sofort based on the Fuji instax series mini90. (for skin?)

Unpacking:

Open the camera to see the function, 10 seconds countdown shooting, macro, scene mode, multiple exposure, exposure compensation, switch flash and so on.

On the front of Leica Sofort, the appearance of the camera has a retro taste, and I personally feel that the mellow and lovely women of the Fuji instax series are much better looking.

Red eye-catching Leica red label, the camera's premium depends on it! On the left is a self-portrait mirror, on the right is a viewfinder window, and under the viewfinder is a flash.

The exit is located on the left side of the camera, surrounded by a layer of black leather imitation leather.

The left and right sides of the camera are the paper compartment switch, five function keys, LCD display, and battery compartment.

A standard tripod screw hole is provided on the bottom of the camera to allow the use of a commercially available stand.

The shutter button is set on the top of the camera. This is where the camera design is tweaked the most. One-handed operation is uncomfortable and you feel very awkward when pressing the shutter button.

Comment:

In fact, Leica Sofort's biggest controversy is whether there is any difference with Fuji's mini90. Is it a pure brand premium? As it was written, the camera was redesigned by Leica itself, because I only have one Fuji mini25 for comparison. , may as well look slightly.

Leica Sofort uses its own AUTOMATIK-HEKTOR 60mm F12.7 lens. There are two sets of comparison photos below, which are the well-lit vision (1, 2) and the indoor illumination (A, B) with insufficient light to open the flash. Without a scanner, it can only be photographed with a camera.

Look at the windows and the sky of Buildings 1 and 2. Perhaps the building is not very clear in this picture, but the sky clearly shows the difference. The details of the sky in Figure 2 have been retained. Figure 1 is almost dead white and its sharpness is lower than Figure 1 is high; while the indoor A, B shines, and some places in figure A are overburdened. Although figure B appears a bit dark, the overall exposure is normal.

Leica Sofort's modeling art is clean and fresh, and it's good to use it as a small prop for photography.

The following are the technical parameters:

Aperture/focal length: 60mm f/12.7 (equivalent to 35mm 34mm)

Focal length range: 0.3-0.6m (macro) / 0.6m-3m (standard) / 3m-infinity (landscape)

Shutter speed: 1/8 - 1/400 seconds (mechanical shutter)

Modes: Auto Shot, Selfie, People, Sports, B-Dots, Macro, Self-Timer, Multiple Exposures

Exposure compensation: -0.7 EV / 0.0 EV / +0.7 EV

Sensitivity: photo paper ISO is about 800

Self-timer: 2 seconds/10 seconds

Built-in flash: Automatic flash for automatic brightness adjustment

Summary: Although Leica Sofort sells several times more expensive than mini90, the bright red label of "Leica" is still very attractive. Color reproduction, sharpness, exposure and other aspects are slightly better than the mini90. It's not worth the premium value at this point. It depends on your choice.
