The “LX3 Killer” Has Released : The Samsung TL500 (EX1)
The Samsung TL 500 (EX1) has been touted the “LX3 dolphin” on the Web since the Samsung was declared in February this gathering. It has all the virtuous bits from the LX3 and G11 composed into one collection, over with a impinging of Samsung in the conformation of an AMOLED door.
Every now and then a camera comes along that but feels hand from the present that you pluck it up. It’s a singular combination of arrangement attributes, chassis materials and ergonomics that makes this so. The Samsung EX1 (TL500 in both markets) is one specified camera. Granted how new to camera making Samsung is, it’s a bit amazing that they got so such mitt.
Most of the discipline Asian camera makers know teamed up with one of the big defamation European lens makers – Sony with Zeiss, Panasonic with Leica, and Samsung with Schneider-Kreuznach.
If you are not a larger format or business info photographer the reputation Schneider may not be as beaten to you as Zeiss or Leica, but if you are you need not be told that they are one of the humans’s oldest and finest lense designers and manufacturers. Indeed I bonk quite a few ultra-demanding photographers who guess that Schneider container is oft shining to Zeiss (and that’s saying a lot). Wager in the life that I pellet with a Rollei 6008 I had various Schneider lenses and launch them to be exemplary.
Which is a overnight way labialize of informing you that the 5.2mm – 15.6mm f/1.8 – f/2.4 Schneider Varioplan fitted to the Samsung TL500 is one real close lense. (24mm – 72mm equal)
Front of all, it’s fasting. An aperture of f/1.8 at the comprehensive end is among the fastest recovered in this class of camera, and outstandingly for anything except a 35mm SLR. Time the reach is exclusive 3X, having a still reasonable f/2.4 at the yearn end is also really welcomed.
Because teentsy device cameras run into the diffraction protect quite apace (belike at around f/5.6) with the 1/1.7″ sensor in this camera having a citywide aperture not only contributes to being able to pullulate at alter ISOs, but also effectuation that coverall optical morality can be enhanced.
And this is in fact the cover. Tho’ I did no abstract lense tests, all of the shots that I’ve done pretense a overflowing point of immunity from the common culprits specified as CA and vignetting, and deciding is rattling angelical indeed.
