not leica lens. nonetheless, interested to see its real world performance when got chance to play with it in SG.

Quotes from article:

According to reports, the cameras on the Huawei P9 were, in fact, made by Sunny Optical.

As for Leica's invovlement, apparently it was only to provide the certification for the cameras and even then it was supposedly very hands-off in terms of the engineering of the module. Perhaps Leica was content that the camera passes its quality standards, enough to lend its name as well. Perhaps "Leica-certified" or even "approved" is a more accurate way to describe the Huawei P9's cameras.

Not surprising. Someone paid someone.

Really need to see the real world performance first ....

Bros. Nobody has as good monochrome processing as Leica. Take a look at the monochrome.

Leica's involvement will always be under attack by the western media. There are many reasons why. I don't have to say it.

To actually say that Huawei without Leica brought to the world the first massively mass production dual lens mono rgb image combination camera which gives competitive images would be even greater honor in a logical world actually. But I don't think that's true.

Not related to Huawei or the phone, but the fact is: it should be easy to see that Leica doesn't make small lenses for small phones. their primary expertise isn't even in this industry. Just look at Panasonic's partnership with Leica. Leica doesn't make hardwares for these consumer-grade electronics.

Given the above, Leica can still involve in other areas of development with Huawei or Panasonic. making a product together is more than just manufacture a piece of hardware. Apple doesn't manufacture a single piece of the iPhone hardware.

Don't buy into the hype. Wait for real world reviews and DXOMark test. If the cam is good, it doesn't matter if there is a Leica brand there or not.

Sent from mobile using GAGT

Like it buy it. Personally i dont really care is leica certified or engineered etc. Dont even think of that lense can be possibly made by leica cuz one piece of M Summarit can buy at least 3 P9 lol.
