New Zeiss 16-35mm review at Techbang.
The first review of the new 16-35mm FE Zeiss has been published at Techbang (google tranlsation here). While the automated google translation makes a bit of mess on the text it’s still good to check out the site to see the many full size image samples! And there is also that comparison with the Canon 16-35mm f/4.0 L lens (Click on image to enlarge):
These are the conclusions from the reviewer:
– He liked the compact size and material quality
– Image quality is very high
– Good distortion suppression
– Slow focusing speed on the A7
– Higher price compared to the Canon 16-35mm f/4.0 (but the Zeiss is better)

An unusual comparison: Zeiss Otus 85mm Vs. Sony RX100
SAR reader Mike made that unusual comparison between the A7r with Otus lens and the first generation RX100 compact camera. And at the end the difference between the two are surprisingly small:
What I find astonishing is how little difference there is between the two, considering the vast difference in size, weight, sensors and price. Sure, the A7R/Otus combination wins, but not by that much. Besides, it bloody well better win! It’s up against a two-year-old pocket camera that weighs and costs a small fraction as much.

Almost 9 million kilometers squared and a gross domestic product of about 2.25 b...
ZEISS employees' children recently spoke about what's behind these numbers in the new ZEISS Forum in Oberkochen, Germany. They received the scholarship for an exchange year and traveled to Brazil, the USA, China or Italy, to name but a few. "The scholarship is intended to enable ZEISS employees' children to discover new things and to engage with other people and cultures," explains Franz Donner, Head of Corporate Human Resources.
ZEISS employees' children can apply for the scholarship once a year. ZEISS organizes the student exchange program in conjunction with the non-profit association AFS "Intercultural Programs". AFS has been developing intercultural educational programs for school students for over 50 years. In recent years, over 54 children have spent a year abroad through the ZEISS scholarship for employees' children.

New SLR Magic Apo-HyperPrime CINE 50mm T2.1 tested on the A7s.
SLR Magic Apo-HyperPrime CINE 50mm T2.1 – short review from Hacky on Vimeo.
3D-Kraft (Click here) tested the new SLR Magic Apo-HyperPrime CINE 50mm T/2.1 lens on the A7s. This is a PL mount lens but of very high interest for all Cine shooters looking for a cheaper alternative of the otherwise very expensive Zeiss or Schneider lenses. 3D-Kraft writes:
The first member of a new Apo-HyperPrime CINE lens family provides optical performance close to the stellar ZEISS FE Sonnar 1.8/55 with better apochromatic correction. The housing, focus and aperture operation are highly optimized for video applications. The aperture blades can be stopped down keeping out-of-focus highlights still nicely round (see the the starting image of the video as an example – it was shot with a second Apo HyperPrime CINE 50/T2.1 at T2.8). This lens is ready for 6K!
