Jobe:B&H shipped the HVL-F32 flash yesterday. I thought it wasn’t due to ship until mid December so this might be an accident. Figured I’d shoot you a quick snap of the boxes: http://ift.tt/1BFKOwj


JJ Sereday:I am a professional who used to be a Canon DSLR user (5D Mark II, 7D etc.) but switched to Sony 2 years ago when Canon released the 5D Mark III. I was very disappointed with their upgrade which took over 4 years to come. From that moment I realized that Canon’s philosophy was to only implement advance technologies when the market demands it. I didn’t want to be with a company that become complacent.

So I switched to Sony, picked up an A99 and never looked back. By all means Sony is far from perfect and I do get frustrated with their customer service and communication. (Or lack of communication rather) But the gamble turned out to be a smart bet since Sony has been really pushing the market. I am now fully invested with just about all of the Amount full frame lenses an A99 and an A65. I also picked up the A7s since it is probably the best camera on the market in its class.

Sonys division between A mount and E mount is a little frustrating as well. Im more accepting of it since I can use all my Amount lenses with the Emount system but there are some caveats. Non the less – I will be riding it out and hoping for Sony to make some smart decisions.

One decision they made well was with the Sony FS7. They actually listened to their customers and gave them MANY of the features and ergonomics requesting. While it is on my TO GET list, I came across the contest Sony has to win one. (it actually may have been from your site). So I decided to work on a film Ive been too busy to work on and submit it.

The short film is called : In The Details. I shot some footage on a trip I took when I first got my A99 and told myself once I finished it I would send it your way since it was done entirely on Sony A99.

Jorge Torralba:The 2013 Contest is Open

The 2013 ZeissImages.com photo contest is officially open. Once again, this year the prize is being provided by Carl Zeiss Camera Lens Division thanks to Richard Schleuning, National Sales Manager. This contest would not be possible without support from Richard and Carl Zeiss Camera Lens Division.

Theme

This years theme will be “Ordinary Life”. A semi documentary theme where the objective is to capture an ordinary moment in someone’s day that becomes an extraordinary photo for everyone to view. This could be a scene from someone struggling to get by day to day or the thrill of a child blowing out a candle on a birthday cake. The photo just needs to portray real events in life that when viewed as a photograph are memorable.

Rules

Like before, any submitted entry must be photographed with a Zeiss lens. It does not matter what kind of Zeiss lens was used as long as it was a Zeiss. This means smart phones with built in Zeiss lenses are acceptable as are point and shoot cameras, dslr’s, rangefinder cameras, reflex cameras etc ..

All participants may submit up to 3 photographs. You are allowed to change your submitted photos while the contest is open to submissions. Once the contest closes, no more changes or entries will be allowed. To submit your photos, you must be a registered member of Zeissimages.com and upload your photos into the category “2013 Contest”. If you already have a photo in the gallery and you wish to use it in the contest, simply change that photos category to reflect the contest category.

The deadline for submissions will be Dec 13th, 2013 at 23:59 GMT. After this date and time, the winning photograph will be chosen and the winning photographer will choose one of the following lenses as his or her prize.

Distagon 2/28 ZE or ZF.2
