One today is better than two tomorrow. This is the philosophy that people who play with film need to understand. Press the shutter today and see the picture tomorrow. Don’t hurry. The Leica 0 series takes the slow philosophy to the extreme and also the Leica portable philosophy to the extreme.
A few days ago, using the Leica 50mm noctilux f / 0.95 was too heavy. To rest my neck, I picked up this small Leica camera.
Once I picked up the leica 0-series, I couldn’t put it down. My camera is a copy of Leica ’s earliest 135 camera 0-series. At the WestLicht Photographica auction in Vienna that year, a Leica Null-Serie (also known as 0-Series) camera was sold at a high price of $ 2.16 million. Become the most expensive camera in the world.
It was the fastest photography tool in the era of the Leica 0 series cameras. It is slower than later L39 cameras and M cameras.
After winding, the shutter cannot be changed. I have to force myself to release the shutter set in the subway, otherwise the shutter will not work when exiting the subway. This sense of urgency often surprises me because I have to force myself to take a picture. Haruki Murakami said that he beat the bush with a big stick, forcing inspiration to fly like a bird, and the 0-series felt the same.
The viewfinder of the replica leica 0 series is a folding viewfinder with a sight. In addition, Leica has imitated the leica 0 series, which is a Galileo viewfinder.
The Leica 0-SERIES is a 50mm f / 3.5 lens, and it takes a little experience to estimate the shooting distance.
The Leica 0-series prototype uses Anastigmat 50 3.5 lens. Anastigmat lens was designed by Berek in 1920. After Anastigmat 50 3.5, designer Berek designed Elmax 50 3.5, adding an extra piece of glass, 5 pieces in 3 groups.
