81. Leica Lenses (English)
7 months ago
Every Leica lens is hand-crafted and goes through meticulous manufacturing processes to uphold the quality and precision that Leica defines and customers have come to expect. In the age where technology almost inevitably means mass manufacturing, Leica products are still made with exacting precision by the hands of highly-trained technicians.
This video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the craftsmanship and making of Leica lenses in the production facilities of Leica Camera AG.

The dream lenses!
Holding a Leica M9 with a 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M nearly made me cry! Hahaha it's beyond beautiful and perfect. It makes any other DSLR camera and lens combination feel useless.
Next time, if I win the lottery, without any doubts, I go and buy a Leica camera.
Thank you for sharing this video.
It left me wanting to see more of the actual process, THAT was very interesting.
Well, I guarantee no human carved that glass by hand to make the lenses and you clearly see a milling machine carving serial numbers.
If you look at this video by canon you see a nearly identical process for their lens construction:

I think this video by Leica and it's hip words like skilled craftsman are just an attempt to justify expensive lenses.
The real reason why Leica's cost so much is because people are willing to buy them on name alone. It's no different than buying flashy jewelry or a luxury vehicle.
Note, I'm not saying that Leica is of crappy quality, I just don't think their level of quality dictates how much they charge.
