Contax康泰时

Contax（康泰时）康泰时（Contax，或译康泰克斯）原为德国蔡司公司(德文为ZeissIkon，蔡司·依康)于1932年生产旁轴相机（RangeFinder）所使用的品牌。

两德时期，蔡司公司也一分为二。

西德蔡司以Contax品牌继续生产旁轴相机，东德蔡司则开始生产M42接环的单反相机（SLR）。

东德蔡司一九五一年和西蔡商标纠纷后，东蔡商标改用潘太康Pentacon、百佳Praktica，而西德蔡司的Contax相机后来于1961年停止生产，康泰时品牌暂时陷入沉寂。

1971年，西德蔡司与日本福冈系Yashica公司合作，康泰时在日本获得重生，并成为Yashica公司使用卡尔·蔡司镜头的高级相机品牌（此时的CONTAX所有的字母均为大写），低端相机则为雅西卡Yashica，由于技术相似，只是定位不同，所以雅西卡和康泰时有很多相似之处，也称为―平民蔡司‖。

Yashica公司于1983年被京瓷公司併购，京瓷公司继续使用康泰时品牌。

京瓷2000年底推出世界首部量产数码相机Contax N Digital，由于价格很高，技术并不成熟，市场反应很差。

京瓷于2004年砍掉数码相机业务，2005年停产手动单反镜头、彻底退出这一产业，并于4月11日宣佈自该年9月起终止康泰时事务，康泰时品牌第二次被束之高阁。

十大经典相机排行榜

十大经典相机排行榜对于喜欢摄影的朋友们来说，拥有一款高性能的相机一定是一件非常重要的事情。

选购时，了解一些相机的品牌和特点，能够帮助你更好的选择适合自己的相机。

下面是小编给大家整理的十大经典相机排行榜，欢迎阅读。

十大经典相机排行榜十大经典相机排行榜1. 徕卡M3·素以浪漫著称的法国人曾经拍摄了一个短片：一位盲人被人搀扶着走在街头，一位妙龄少女走过，他嗅了嗅说：“夏奈尔”;路经一辆豪华轿车，车门一响，他随口说：“奔驰!”路边一位摄影者按下了快门，快门清脆而柔滑地一响，他不假思索地说：“徕卡!”十大经典相机排行榜2. 哈苏503CW1939年4月，欧洲战事正酣，一架德国轰炸机坠毁于瑞典，军方在清理飞机残骸时发现了一台摔变形的侦察相机，这是当时世界上最先进的航拍相机，瑞典国防部长立即将著有《候鸟的旅程》的鸟类学者、摄影家维克多·哈苏先生，问他能否为瑞典皇家空军仿造一部，哈苏先生语惊四座：“不能!但我能造一部比他更好的相机!”于是，第一台哈苏相机HK7诞生了。

十大经典相机排行榜3. 禄来2.8FX双反相机很多时候，说到双反相机，人们就会想到一位英国老绅士脖子上挂着一台禄来，不紧不慢地低头在取景器里构图、调焦，最后慢悠悠地按下机身前面的快门。

这种双反相机曾经与徕卡、康太时、尼康的测距式相机一起统治了上世纪五六十年代的摄影界，如果您不信，不妨去数一数这一时期获得普利策奖的照片中有多少台使用了禄来就知道了。

十大经典相机排行榜4. 美乐时LX沃尔特·扎普，这位出生在拉脱维亚里加的技师从未想到，他研制的这款微型相机最终会出现在007电影《女王密使》中——扮演詹姆斯·邦德的乔治·拉扎贝举着一台美乐时A/IIIs拍摄的镜头给影迷留下了很深的印象;他更未想到，当年他仅仅是想造出一台小得能藏在拳头中的相机，最终这种相机却因为铁幕两边间谍们的青睐而一举成名。

十大经典相机排行榜5. 佳能AE-1推出于1976年的佳能AE-1曾经是专业摄影记者手中的武器，有位记者拿着这款相机跑到菲律宾南部采访，结果被流弹击中所幸的是，子弹击中的是相机，打烂了机身前部，并且在机身中拐了一个小弯，救了这位记者一条命。

尼康NIKOMAT FTN单反相机(黑体)

尼康公司于１９６７年推出３５ｍｍＮｌＫＯＭＡＴＦＴＮ单反

２００９年．上海音乐厅举办沈次农先生的黑胶大碟封套展览。我一连去看了两次。沈先生与我年龄相近，是《新民晚报》音乐评论版的资深编辑，痴迷西方古典音乐和胶木唱片。多年前，我去沈府聆听过他的音响和唱片还原出来的古典音乐，在上海音乐厅音乐会上也曾多次同他不期而遇。我与沈先生并无深交，但对于黑胶唱片的迷恋和欣赏肯定是一致的。从上世纪８０年代开始，中国图书进出口公司几平成了我的 “娘家 ” ，常去购买１５元一张的古典音乐黑胶大碟，以致入不敷出、黑胶唱片通过唱盘和音响还原出来的音质温暖、柔和、现场感十足。时至今日。黑胶大碟尽管有着其他载体无法比拟的优点，却因其体积大、播放麻烦等缺点而被淘汰，只能成为过去时代的一个符号。我家里保存着２００多张品相一流的黑胶大碟，还淘购了３台立体声唱机，专门用来 “伺候 ” 这些笨重的唱片。现在有些白领青年去二手市场，不惜破费１５０元买一张已被磨损的黑胶大碟过一把瘾．体验一下未曾经历过的年代，二手老相机的命运与黑胶大碟何其相似，一对难兄难弟对于自己经历过的年代和付出代价的物件、对于一些无法复制的物质和精神层面上的东西，诸如照相机和胶片，我仍然固执地坚守一份挥之不去的情怀。今年年初，营销老相机的马兄找我， “摸出 ”一台黑体尼康ＮＩＫＯＭＡＴＦＴＮ单反相机。顿时感到眼前一亮，它是我平生见过的最完美的黑体ＮＩＫＯＭＡＴＦＴＮ￣Ｂ机，竟然找不出任何使用过的痕迹，最后以６５０元的 “跳楼价 ” 成交。我不晓得马兄在多少家店铺里推销过这台尼康相机，他找到我也是迫不得已吧市面萧条，老相机晚景凄凉。回想多年前在长阳路老黄店里，不惜花２０００

摄影冷知识-尼康的旁轴相机（下）

摄影冷知识-尼康的旁轴相机（下）明天就是猴年除夕，后天我们将迎来机（鸡）年，所以玩机显得必然而紧迫......其实我就想提前祝你春节快乐！被猴子上蹿下跳折腾了一整年，过了明天，怎么都该要雄起了！祝我们各自努力，达成所愿！接着我们将之前介绍尼康旁轴相机的系列做个完结，虽然现在尼康这个名字更多代表着单反相机，但其实它本身就是一台旁轴相机的名字，如果你还不知道，请找出上期和中期看看。

鲍勃·迪伦和他的 Nikon SP尼康旁轴测距相机的巅峰之作——尼康SP尼康S面世后，日光公司于1954年12月推出其改进型号尼康S2。

这是日本首架采用曲柄倒片、扳手过片的35mm照相机，仅仅比采用扳手过片的徕卡M3晚了几个月，但曲柄倒片则是徕卡M3不具备的。

该机首次将焦平面快门最快快门时间提高到1/1000秒，取景倍率达到了1:1。

另外,该机对X闪光同步插孔也进行了重新设计（单孔）。

该机配用尼克尔50mm/f1.4镜头，共生产了56715架。

随着日本冶金、铸造工业的复苏和技术进步,日光公司开始设计和打造一架无论在性能、制造工艺方面都堪称与徕卡、康泰时旁轴相机媲美的机型。

经过反复设计调整，这架吸收了徕卡M3先进设计的，在今天看来属于尼康旁轴测距相机巅峰之作的尼康SP，终于在1957年9月面世。

尼康SP是当时设计人员全部智慧的结晶，它打破了以往仅仅是模仿德国相机的老路，注入了日光工程师的独到创新设计，概括起来，可归纳为以下几点：一是拥有世界上第一台集适配28/35/50/85/105/135镜头的6个对焦框于一身的旁轴测距取景相机，在主取景部的左面是28/35两个没有视差自动补偿的辅取器，而1980年徕卡M4P发表时，才具有匹配交换镇头的28/35/50/75/90/135取景系统，细细算来尼康SP竟领先了徕卡23年！尼康SP的取景器占了大半个顶盖的后部，这是独一无二的创新设计。

Nikon SP 的混合式取景器，左侧提供了镜头焦距为28mm时的视角，而右边则涵盖了从50~135mm当用户通过旋转围绕着倒片把手的拨盘来选择50/85/105/135取景框线的时候，这个拨盘上的刻度用不同颜色的数字加以分辨。

尼康相机历史

90年的辉煌
尼康
尼康
尼康株式会社（日语：株式会社ニコン；香港称为艺康），是一家日本大型光学仪器制造商，也是三菱集团的关系企业之一。“尼康”此企业名称，为原始之商号日本光学工业（NIPPON KOGAKU K.K.）日文发音的略缩语。尼康致力于光学和影像产品的研究开发，其产品包括照相机、集成电路制造设备、液晶制造设备、望远镜、显微镜、投影机、眼镜和测量仪器。到2009年为止，共有23,759名雇员。公司总部位于日本东京千代田区丸之内，而照相机相关业务与服务中心位于日本东京品川区西大井。
Nikon FM ——1977年推出，是Nikon品牌第一部F以外的单反相机。全机械、全手动、LED显示测光，取景覆盖率 93%，可配马达。
Nikon EM ——1979年上市，全自动，黑机身，是Nikon最小最轻巧的单反相机。
1980
尼康 F3 单镜反光相机面世。应用于天文学的尼康10厘米反射赤道望远镜面世。尼康单镜反光机被应用于美国国家航空航天局 (NASA) 的太空船计划。
Nikon S3 ——1958年3月推出，1961年停产，共生产了14310台。作为Nikon SP的廉价版，只有 35 、 50 和 105 三种取景框，其他方面则同 Nikon SP完全一样
1959
尼康公司推出第一架135单镜头反光照相机 Nikon F，这是架可以方便地更换镜头、取景器，并备有卷片马达的专业相机。尼康F以其完备的性能，精湛的工艺以及相对于德国相机较低廉的价格迅速得到广大专业记者的认可。在越战中，尼康F被美国随军记者所广泛使用，渐渐成为新闻记者的首选机种。
1937～1945
随着侵华战争的全面爆发及太平洋战争的开始，尼康公司的前身Nippon Kogaku K.K.为配合日本政府的需要，开设了一连串大型厂房，以生产军用光学仪器。二战的爆发给了尼康一个飞跃式发展的机会，大量的军品订单刺激尼康急剧的膨胀起来，到二战中期，尼康旗下已经有了19家工厂和23000名员工，所生产的光学仪器包括望远镜，潜望镜，航空侦查镜头，光学轰炸瞄准具等等，可以说尼康公司在历史上有着不光彩的一面。

尼康口蔡司镜头

体味蔡司！尼康用户必玩镜头捕捉心灵的曙光：Distagon T* 25/2.8 ZF这是一款严谨冷峻的光学产品，从2007年1月24日正式上市那一刻起他就备受敬仰，除了光学镜片之外，他由内至表处处都渗透着金属的冰冷与刚毅。

蔡司Distagon T* 25/2.8 ZF采用了10片8组的光学构成，最近对焦距离0.17m，体积65×66mm，重量为480克，使用58mm口径滤色镜片。

在与传统135幅面单反机型匹配时，这支定焦镜头的精确焦距数值为25.7mm，这是一个极为个性化的焦距区段，与28mm的所谓黄金广角相比他的视角更宽广，也更具有视觉冲击力。

若与24mm焦距的镜头相比，他又拥有更好的畸变控制能力，画面也少了几分张扬，多了几缕含蓄。

著名的纪实摄影大师约瑟夫·寇德卡是蔡司25mm广角的使用者和传播者，他将这种镜头的画面扩张力和主力跃出感表现得淋漓尽致，其展示的许多不朽摄影佳作都出自蔡司25mm镜头。

眼前这支专为尼康用户提供的Distagon T* 25/2.8 ZF具有不俗的近摄能力，利用F8或F11的较小光圈，通过前景聚焦与广阔的景深范围的结合，他可以营造出绝佳的视觉透视效果。

这支镜头在3-5m的对焦距离上从事人物摄影时，被摄主体的立体感和细节描写力都相当强，主体环境也被刻画的恰到好处。

事实上，任何广角光学产品都会存在中心影像与边缘影像的画质差距，焦距越短视角越广，这种画面上影像素质的差别就愈加明显。

而Distagon T* 25/2.8 ZF却恰如其分地把握住了中心画质的逐次降损过程，并由此掩盖了边缘画质的松散，甚至还借助这种与生俱来的画质递减现象造就了无以伦比的视觉立体感！而那些从事人文摄影的大师们，正是利用了这种人与自然环境结合过程出现的视觉立体感，既捕捉到了那醉人的心灵曙光，同时又向世人展示了最原生态的自然风貌。

镜头点评：并不是谁都有能力把握住25mm广角的不羁与含蓄，在我们趋之若鹜去追捧Distagon T* 25/2.8 ZF之时一定要量力而行，因为这支经典手动镜头在骨子里被融入了太多的厚重、执着、与冷酷，再说其6200元的身价也不是个小数目。
