Leica Interview with Peter Karbe @ Luminous Landscape

Wed September 16, 2009

Luminous Landscape has published a 35 min. video interview with Leica’s head of optical development, Peter Karbe.

Highlights:
- The new lenses for the Leica S2 outresolve the sensor currently used in the S2, and will also outresolve the next generation sensor.
- A challenge to add auto focus to the lenses. No ultrasonic motor for the moment. Where there is a tradeoff between speed and durability, Leica leans toward durability.
- Weather sealing refers to windy rainy conditions. Personally tested it in -10 degrees Celsius Wintery conditions.
- Longest lens is 350mm.
- 120mm macro design based on APO 100, but contains floating element.
- Great bokeh in all lenses.
