CAMERAS

Christian has used many different camera systems over the years. Images from most can be seen in the gallery. They are –

Leica SL2 mirrorless full frame digital camera. The SL2 is the only mirrorless camera designed and crafted in Germany.  The unprecedented resolution of the SL2’s CMOS image sensor in full-frame format results in an unparalleled level of detail rendition and image quality.  This is Christians current camera system. He uses four lenses from Leica the SUPER-VARIO-ELMAR-SL 16-35mm f3.5-4.5 ASPH, the LEICA VARIO-ELMARIT SL 24-90mm f2.8-4 ASPH, the APO-Summicron-SL 50 f/2 ASPH and the LEICA VARIO-ELMARIT-SL 90-280 mm f2.8-4.
