Which brand(s) manufactures the best digital cameras? - Mobile-Review.com Forums
Zeiss -> Sony, Contax, Rollei, Hasselblad, ALPA, ARRI
Leica (lenses, 35mm, compact cameras)-> Panasonic
Schneider Kreuznach -> Kodak, Samsung, Rollei (compact, medium), Hasselblad, Linhof (large, medium),
Casio -> Murata Lumicera
Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 lens
Nikkor lenses are the duplicates (in some sense) of Schneider Kreuznach (Extremely realistic, extremely sharp, perfect color temp), and Canon Lenses are the duplicate of Carl Zeiss (quite sharp, exaggerated color temp, which makes it a brighter and deeper color tones, yet not as realistic as Schneider). LEICA lies in between of these two extremes.

Zeiss->Contax->Yashica->Kyocera
