Precision tools for the world's best photographers

Whether analogue or digital, lens systems from Schneider-Kreuznach have been the first choice for well-known professional photographers worldwide for decades. In the studio, at the set, or on location: When it comes to perfect reproduction performance, demanding photographers rely on Schneider's experience and latest know-how. Specialist lenses such as the DIGITAR series are crafted at Bad Kreuznach from more than 130 types of glass using high-performance computers, based on elaborate optical calculations, CAD-supported design work and state-of-the-art production engineering. This type of lens has been specially developed for the stringent requirements of professional digital photography and offers optimum sharpness, above-average contrast, and minimum distortion.

A very important requirement for digital lenses is that light must fall onto the image sensor as vertically as possible, in order to avoid undesired inter-ference due to the rectangular pixel structure of the sensor. The special design of Schneider digital lenses takes this into account and ensures maximum reproduction performance in modern compact and SLR cameras.

Still life

Breathtakingly beautiful still lifes of rare flowers and blossoms required maximum detail sharpness. Photo designer Richard Fischer recently successfully switched from analogue to digital large-format photography, remaining faithful to products from Schneider-Kreuznach, because he realised that the lens he uses is crucial for maintaining his familiar quality. The Schneider APO-DIGITAR 5.6/120 mm captures all nuances of the beauty and elegance of his floral models – studio photography at its most attractive.
