Happy 175th Birthday Ernst Abbe! Today, 23 January 2015 marks the 175th annive...
Today, 23 January 2015 marks the 175th anniversary of the birth of Ernst Abbe (1840 – 1905). The physicist and part owner in optics company ZEISS and of the special glass manufacturer SCHOTT AG in Jena was not only an excellent scientist and entrepreneur, but also a generator of ideas and founder of the Carl Zeiss Foundation, as well as an important social reformer. His pioneering scientific discoveries on optics established a scientific basis for the construction of microscopes. With the founding of the Carl Zeiss Foundation in 1889 in Jena, he created a corporate model for ZEISS and SCHOTT which is still unique even now. His life's work endures to this day.

ZEISS Art Calendar Pictures Published as a Book The six editions of the acclaim...
The six editions of the acclaimed ZEISS Art Calendar printed to date have now been published in a book titled "ZEISS Art Calendar Vol 1." Publishing houses specializing in art were drawn to the artistic flair of these photographic productions which are issued exclusively for customers. This led to the idea of the book.
Six years, six photographers, six stories told through photographs of twelve prominent actors are featured in this ambitiously designed, large-format book. The calendar series begins with the photography of director and photographer Wim Wenders and continues with Bryan Adams, Ellen von Unwerth, Michel Comte, Mary McCartney and finally Douglas Kirkland, who staged the photographs for the 2015 edition.
ZEISS Art Calendar Vol 1 is published by teNeues and is priced at 69.90 euros (ISBN 978-3-8327-3236-3).

(SR3) Two new Zeiss FE 25mm f/2.0 and 85mm f/1.8 coming mid-end 2015?
On February Sony will finally launch the lenses announced back at Photokina (see roadmap on top). And today we also got some tidbits about the next bunch of lenses coming in mid-end 2015. The source said there will be two Zeiss branded FE autofocus lenses:
1) 25mm f/2.0:
Such a lens already exists for Canon and Nikon DSLR. It’s the Distagon 25mm f/2.0 (here on eBay).
2) 85mm f/1.8:
This is the long time rumored tele prime lens.
The source stressed to say that what he saw were prototype lenses:
“We used them on a Sony A7R. Appeared to be similar build quality and style to the “Touit-Loxia” series. They were both AF and quite snappy with focus and of course very sharp.“
If the rumor is tell us:

“I stood in Venice, on the Bridge of Sighs;
A palace and a prison on each hand:
I saw from out the wave her structures rise
As from the stroke of the enchanter’s wand:
A thousand years their cloudy wings expand
Around me, and a dying Glory smiles
O’er the far times, when many a subject land
Look’d to the winged Lion’s marble piles,
Where Venice sate in state, throned on her hundred isles!”
~Lord Byron
That’s how I like Venice the best: Middle of the night, cold weather, heavy rain, high tide, black water … and no people. That’s when the ghosts of the unlikeliest of all cities come back and whisper about the dark ages.

New Rokinon teaser for the new 135mm (A and E-mount) lens.
Rokinon/Samyang posted a new teaser for their new tele prime lens. You also see the blurred lens on the background. It’s likely to be a new 135mm f/1.8 (or f/1.4?) lens and knowing the company history we can expect to get an A and an E-mount version of that lens. Finally a “cheaper” version of our Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 lens!
The lens should be announced before the CP+ show that starts on February 12.

Zeiss announces new firmware update for the 12mm and 50mm Touit.
Zeiss issued a new firmware update for their 12 and 50mm E-mount Touit lenses. This is what you get:
Touit 2.8/50M E-mount:
A firmware update to Version 02 is now available for the Touit 2.8/50M with E-mount. It corrects the following behaviour that may have occurred with the previous lens firmware version with particular camera menu setting and in particular situations:
- clearly noticeable shutter release delays when pressing the release button with activated flash
- ‘hunting’ for the focus point with the camera in AF-C mode
- all Touit 2.8/50 macro lenses for E-mount cameras ever delivered already support phase detection autofocus and the fast hybrid autofocus of newer Sony E-mount cameras with their proprietary firmware.
Touit 2.8/12 E-mount & Touit 1.8/32 E-mount:
An update to firmware version 02 is available for the Touit 2.8/12 and Touit 1.8/32 lenses with E-mount. With this version, the lenses also support phase detection autofocus and the fast hybrid autofocus of newer Sony E-mount cameras.
