Europe has a long history in the field of camera manufacturing. France is the place of invention of the first camera in the world, Germany once dominated in the field of mechanical cameras, and Nordic brands such as Hasu and Faith are the current leaders in the field of cameras.

Today, let's take an inventory of other well-known European camera brands except Germany.

1. Hasselblad's position in the field of photography is needless to say, owning a Hassel camera is the goal of many photographers.

Hasu has a history of more than 80 years. In 1937, Mr. Victor Hassou established the "Victor Photography Store" named after himself in Sweden; in 1941, commissioned by the Swedish military, Hasu designed and built the first military camera; after the end of World War II, Hasu began to devote himself to the manufacture of civilian cameras; in 1969, Hasu witnessed the first human landing on the moon in the United States.

Many other classic photos, such as the Beatles crossing the street, are also frozen under the lens of Hassel.

Thus it can be seen that Hasu's quality is not only recognized in the field of photography, but also trustworthy in aerospace and other fields.

Hasu deeply ploughs the field of picture frames, from film to digital, to achieve excellent quality. And Hasu seems to have a dedication to photography. When other brands focus on video function on micro-order, Hasu X2D directly does not have video recording function, pursuing the ultimate photography experience. Don't ask, ask is 100 megapixels to reason with you.

Hasu also has its own photography competition-"Hasu Masters Competition", one of the top photography competitions in the world, and previous award-winning works are also at the top level. Each category will produce a winner who will be awarded the title of "Hasu Master". Will also be awarded a Hasuzhong frame camera.

two。 Phase one, like Hassel, is a Nordic camera brand.

Faith, which originated in Denmark, is committed to providing excellent medium-frame digital camera system and RAW file processing and conversion software for professional photography. Faith camera is famous for its excellent shooting performance in all climate conditions, and its digital back is widely favored by professional photographers for its efficient picture processing and fast response ability.

In addition to the world-famous civil cameras, Feisi has also launched professional camera systems and software for industrial aerial survey, cultural heritage, machine vision and other industries.

Feisi's products mainly include professional digital cameras, camera systems, lenses, image software, digital backs and so on. Although the development history is not long, but the quality is unanimously recognized by the industry.

3. ALPA) Alpa, a famous camera brand made in Switzerland, has become the target pursued by many camera collectors because of its exquisite craftsmanship, durability and excellent quality.

Alpa was formerly a workshop in the manufacture of measuring tools, and the pursuit of precision by manual experience laid the foundation for the birth of the later camera. Because of this, the output of the Alpa camera is very low, but the quality is high, although the structure is simple, and the function is not so comprehensive. However, it retains the traditional mechanical features, extremely accurate and reliable accuracy and perfect details, which attracts many photography enthusiasts.

To this day, its production and stock are still very small, but Alpa has never considered becoming a popular brand, focusing on pursuing unique craftsmanship and beauty in niche areas.

Foca, also known as Foca or Foca, a local French brand, is called "French Leica" by some people.

Foca looks like a niche brand, but it is better known in France. Its manufacturer is French company OPL, which initially makes military products.

In 1938, OPL decided to make French cameras to compete with popular German brands such as Leica and Contis. Because of tariffs and other problems at that time, Foka gradually opened up the domestic market and established its popularity in the late 1940s and early 1950s by virtue of its price advantage.

In the follow-up period, Foka also imitated Leica and released some classic works of his own, and Foka's paraxial camera is still loved by many collectors today.

In addition to the above brands, Britain, Italy and other European countries have also imitated Leica and other brands to launch their own camera brands, but in the end, they all have limited influence and become niche classics.

Generally speaking, the role of Europe in promoting the development of photography and camera design and production is still very obvious. Although some countries have not left special classic physical products, however, they have made great contributions to the development of photography culture and photography technology.
