Description
Leica D-LUX 4 Compact Digital Camera is ideal, whether for subjects composed with lots of forethought or for spontaneous reportage. Leica DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens 1:2.0-2.8/5.1-12.8 ASPH is a high-aperture lens for digital compact cameras that allows the real enthusiast to work with an open shutter. Its high speed makes the LEICA D-LUX 4 ideal for available light exposures.
Whether in poor light or for selective use of field depth, the lens of the LEICA D-LUX 4 gives the photographer scope for highly individual picture composition. The aspherical zoom lens with a focusing range of 24-60 mm opens up new creative options in reportage photography. The lens design consists of eight elements, of which four are aspherical. These are matched individually to the camera sensor, working in harmony with the electronics and software, to produce stunningly brilliant pictures in true-to-life colors.
At a standard resolution of 10.1 megapixels, the overlarge size of the 1/1.63″ CCD image sensor increases image quality distinctly. The smallest details of the subject are reproduced exactly. The D-Lux 4 can take photos in all three formats (4:3/3:2/16:9) to suit the particular recording or playback situation. On the 3″ LCD monitor with a resolution of 460,000 pixels, pictures can be viewed and assessed in excellent quality before and after they are taken. Leica Camera AG has developed its own unique color matching, contrast and picture definition profile which produces digital characteristics complimentary to Leica M film photography.

Vixen Optics VMC200L Telescope with Sphinx SXD Mount, 55037
by Nathan on Jan.19, 2010, under Telescopes
Item No. 105-12016
Manuf. No. Vixen 55037
8.0″/200 mm, f/9.7 Catadioptric System Sphinx SXD Mount
NLV 25 mm Eyepiece SX-HAL130 Tripod
The VMC200L from Vixen is well suited to deep sky observing and imaging. This 8.0″/200 mm f/9.75 catadioptric telescope features a sophisticated configuration that employs incorporates a primary mirror and a meniscus corrector just before the secondary mirror. The resulting optical path is corrected twice – this eliminates spherical aberration and field curvature while delivering sharper images without false-color. Because the optical correction is placed before the second mirror, there’s no need for a corrector plate and the dewing problems associated with it. Another benefit is the elimination of spherical aberrations.
Â
Focusing the VMC200L yields a stable and easy to adjust image. The rack-and-pinion focusing system is placed behind the primary mirror to eliminate image-shift. The focuser accepts 2.0″ eyepieces and accessories.
