And the biggest difference between Zeiss and Leica is that Leica focuses on the field of photography, scientific ranging and various optical microsystems, while Zeiss plays a little bigger, in the field of medical optics, aerospace optics, research optics, photographic optics, eyewear and other areas of the leading. Also because Zeiss play a little bigger, focusing on making money in glasses, aerospace, medical, basically photography optics Zeiss has been less concerned about the current market out of the new Zeiss lenses, frankly speaking, are not the Zeiss family of products, either like Sony as to give the Zeiss a sum of money to the production of lenses certified by the Zeiss, labeled with a Zeiss mark. Either like the true mountain can be as cooperation with Zeiss, the use of Zeiss patented technology, Zeiss coating materials to their own production, and finally affixed with the Zeiss label lens, basically Zeiss has been a long, long time did not have their own production of photographic lenses, basically all of the Zeiss lenses on the market are made-in-japan.
And the Leica in the aviation, medical and these earn a lot of money in the market to grab but
Leica's lenses are all produced by Leica itself, from glass to coating, from metal processing to final hand assembly, 100% made-in-germany.
So the relatively cheap OEM and automated production line made-in-japan, and the high cost of insisting on handmade made-in-germany, the price is clear at a glance. Germany, the price at a glance. (If it is pure made-in-germany Zeiss lens, not cheaper than Leica, like that German Zeiss factory production of G16, even if it is eliminated G-mount special lens, even if it is difficult to transfer to other systems, the asking price is also in the 15,000 up and down never waver)
