This is Leica´s very first selfmade digital camera. With the LEICA S 1 Pro, Leica Camera, Solms, has managed to further increase the imaging quality and productivity of the digital studio camera. This increase in performance is achieved with a remarkable sensor which results in a maximum data quality at a high signal to noise ratio. This has a4-fold increase in light sensitivity, meaning that even critical photographic situations at low levels of illumination can be handled more effectively.
The photographer can use the modeling light of his or her existing studio flash equipment for taking the shots, for instance. The new sensor - including Binning and Anti-flicker - provides a 14 Bit signal for red, green and blue colours which is processed in a 16 bit data path. This results in clean colours without noise or blooming.
All LEICA S 1 cameras are supplied with an exchangeable LEICA S-Adapter-R. With the innovative adapter system nearly any lens can be mounted to a LEICA S 1 with perfect stability. The range is from Leica R- and M-lenses, other 35 mm lenses (with Novoflex and MAdapter), Mamiya 645 Pro lenses, Novoflex-bellow, to all Hasselblad-lenses (with full Tilt & Shift feature).
The system is supported by fotomoto.de since 2001.
