Leica S1 was born fourteen years ago (1996) and it seemed only right to remember this little post with a spectacular machine that only knows her Leica, unfortunately unknown to the public.
From the design of the machine senses that is farthest from the series M and, in hindsight, from any other machine.
E 'obviously a printing studio, or rather, a museum for the digitization of the works.
The system revolved around a CCD by the considerable size of 36x36mm and with a resolution that, even today, is the prerogative of the digital medium format: 26 megapixel .
The file that came out had a resolution of 5140x5140 with a color depth of 12 bits.
ISO sensitivity was 50 but had a dynamic range that after fourteen years is a record: 11 stop.
The Phase One P65 back (current) reaches stop 13 and the maximum value available today in digital ... but must be considered that the Leica S1 is the last century.
work connected directly to the computer and the acquisition of un fotogramma occorrevano 185 secondi(!!!).
Sono state prodotte solamente 160 fotocamere Leica S1; la produzione esigua e le caratteristiche tecniche fanno di questa macchina un vero e proprio gioiello.
Tutto questo per dire che Leica, con i suoi alti e bassi, rappresenta comunque il pilastro della fotografia sia essa analogica che digitale, in quanto espressione massima della tecnica degli apparecchi fotografici.
