Even the best camera is only as good as its lens system – this applies to advanced digital compact cameras just as well as semi-professional SLR cameras with high-resolution image sensors. For this reason sets
Samsung uses high-performance lenses from Schneider-Kreuznach in many of their digital camera models.

DSLR- and compact lens systems

From the potentially record-breaking Varioplan Ultrazoom in the semi-professional Samsung Pro815 with a 35 mm film-equivalent focal length range of 28 – 420 mm to the high-resolution miniature zoom lenses of the Samsung NV compact series and the exquisite fixed focal lengths and
zoom lenses the D-Xenon and D-Xenogon range for the GX SLR cameras from Samsung: Schneider-Kreuznach guarantees optimum reproduction performance. The development of advanced zoom lenses is based on decades of experience, including the world-famous Variogon range.

The more focal lengths have to be combined in a lens, the more elaborate the correction of residual optical errors. The application of specialised calculation programs on ultra-modern computers and the know-how of the Schneider engineers ensure optical perfection even for extreme zoom ranges and ultra-fast designs. Schneider precision lenses also take account of the fact that the advent of digital photography has lead to a significant increase in the quality standards for optical camera components.

Aspheric technology now plays a crucial role in new lens designs that would have been inconceivable a few years ago, such as the ultra-compact Schneider Superzoom 2.8 – 4.0/38 – 270 mm in the Samsung NV7 OPS. The aspheric elements used in many Schneider lenses for Samsung, lead to significantly higher performance of compact or interchangeable lenses and enable fast, compact designs with top image quality.
