Sony uses the famous Carl Zeiss lenses in its F-series products; Canon is the first to use the famous Red Ring L lens in its high-end products; Panasonic uses the classic Leica lens; Nikon uses its own Nikkor lens; Konica Minolta uses the GT HEXANON lens; Olympus uses ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses; Fuji uses FUJINON lenses; even Kodak uses Schneider lenses, which are famous in Europe.
I. Carl Zeiss lenses
Carl Zeiss is the world's oldest optical company, was established in 1846 in Jena, Germany, headquartered in Germany. Zeiss can be said to be the boss of the field of precision optical instruments, can manufacture a series of photoelectric products, including camera lenses, laboratory equipment, planetarium projectors, transportation and medical optical equipment, such as wide-angle lens model Holgon, large aperture lens model Sonnar, designed for the side-axis camera Bio-gon and so on, are created by Zeiss classic mirror. It is a fact that there is a market for optical products as long as they are tainted with Zeiss lenses. Anyone who knows Zeiss should know that the company has grown from the beginning of the industrial revolution to its present size, thanks to the fact that it has always remained committed to its best optical instruments, and has continued to innovate and improve its technology. If in the field of 135 there is still Contax and Leica to fight (Contax using Carl Zeiss), but to the 120 field Carl Zeiss T * will be dominant in the world, we must know that the Hasselblad, Locke Leica two big 120 giants are using Carl Zeiss lenses. Into the digital era, relying on Carl Zeiss to help, originally an amateur Sony, transformed into one of the industry's consumer-grade digital camera boss.

Two, Leica lenses
Germany Leica's name I think there are not a few engaged in the photography do not know it, as the world's first 35 mm camera manufacturer, with its superb technology and craftsmanship, access to many of the world's first-class photographer's highly praised to establish the Leica cameras and Leica lenses, the Leica camera and Leica lenses, the Leica camera, the Leica camera, the Leica camera, the Leica camera, and the Leica camera. The Leica camera and Leica lenses have established a high status in the photographic world.
Beginning in July 2001, Leica launched a formal partnership with Panasonic, combining the world-renowned Summicron, Elmar, and Elmarit lens manufacturing technologies with the characteristics of digital cameras to launch the DC VARIO-Summicron and DC VARIO-Elmari lenses. The cooperation on digital cameras started with the D-LUX, which is very European in appearance, elegant, rounded, and the "prototype Leica" is so much in the same lineage as the God, in February 2002, Leica released the first Digilux 1. In December 2003, Leica released the new Digilux 2, with a strong sense and color. The richness and colorfulness of Leica's lenses is the most important feature of Leica's lenses.

Three, NIKKOR lens
Nikon from 1933 onwards began to produce lenses under the name of NIKKOR, which has always been known for its sharp imaging and high-contrast effects, in the industry, there is a "news of Nikon, sports Canon! In the industry, it is known as "Nikon for news and Canon for sports," and has sold more than 25 million lenses around the world to date. Over the years, Nikon has made a number of breakthroughs in the photographic industry. For example, in 1960, Nikon was the first to design and produce aspherical lenses. In addition, Nikon also invented ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass, which is a lens that uses Extra-Low Dispersion Glass to greatly reduce the dispersion phenomenon that often occurs in telephoto lenses, where red and blue light cannot be focused on the same plane, and ensures that excellent color reproduction can be achieved. In 1972, it was first used in the 300mm f/2.8ED NIKKOR telephoto lens, and in 1997, Nikon successfully produced the world's first autofocus zoom lens for macro photography - the AF Zoom Macro 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6D ED. Currently, the ED technology has been successfully applied to civilian digital cameras. ED technology has been successfully applied to civilian digital camera products.

Four, L lens
L lens is Canon lens in the aristocrat, the L, from the Luxury, that is Canon's high-grade lenses, commonly known as the Canon professional lenses. L series of lenses are not necessarily added to the low-dispersion lens, but the L series of lenses must be added to the lens, and advanced optical lenses, and the lens of Canon professional lenses. L series lenses do not necessarily include low dispersion lenses, but the L series lenses must include some advanced optical lenses, and the lens processing tolerances are strictly controlled. In order to mark its "noble" identity, in each L lens are marked with a red circle. There are some camera friends affectionately called "red ring lens". L head with ground aspherical lenses, UD (low dispersion), SUD (Super Low Dispersion) or Fluorite (Fluorite) lenses, these are the lens is an important basis for excellent optical quality. In the lens manufacturing industry, fluorite is the most expensive material meant for its excellent optical performance, dispersion is extremely low, reflected in the imaging of the most significant point is very effective in controlling the phenomenon of violet edges, but the yield is very low, and very brittle physical properties of the processing equipment and process requirements are very high, all of these have resulted in the high price of fluorite lenses. So far there is no camera lens made entirely of fluorite, only in the high-end professional lenses may be placed in the key position of one or two fluorite lenses, and even then the image quality of the lens is still greatly improved.

Five, Konica Minolta GT HEXANON lens
Although Minolta in the photographic equipment used by not many people, but the use of it must be a loyal Fans. Minolta's G series of high-grade professional AF lenses can be said to be prestigious, and with the Minolta switch to digital cameras, will produce G series lenses. With Minolta's shift to digital cameras, the production of G-series lens technology applied to the design of digital cameras, the product is called GT lenses. GT lenses do not refer to a certain kind of technology or a few kinds of technology, but rather refers to a high-tech design, production, management system. Specifically, it refers to Minolta's uniquely designed multi-component lens assembly, the use of high-grade low-dispersion optical glass to produce lenses, chromatic aberration and distortion astigmatism and other key image processing technologies to control the minimum, which contains a number of die-cast aspherical lenses, etc., and, more critically, this set of processes includes a set of strict and almost demanding quality management system to ensure that each factory product is of high quality. As a result, GT means perfect imaging results and higher production costs. HEXANON is a brand launched by Konica's lens company in Japan in 1928, three years before Nikon, and has since been used in Konica's high-end compact cameras. After the merger of Konica and Minolta, the two brands were merged into one, and thus GT HEXANON lenses were created.
