(SR3) 35mm f/1.4 G lens to be replaced soon?

According to one source Sony will launch a 35mm f/1.4 G lens replacement soon. And this is certainly a welcome news. This is one of the oldest “sony” lenses launched back in 2006. And now we have cheaper and better alternatives like the Sigma ART 35mm lens ($899 here at Amazon). I don’t know the price but I have been told the replacement will NOT be Zeiss branded.

Dr. Ludwig Meier – Pioneer of Modern Projection Planetariums



In the beginning of August the President of the International Planetarium Society (IPS), Thomas W. Kraupe (right), presented the IPS Technology and Innovation Award to Dr. Ludwig Meier, widely regarded as the father of modern ZEISS projection planetariums. It pays tribute to the exceptional achievements of an outstanding ZEISS planetarium expert who has played a key role in the development of modern planetarium technology. Wilfried Lang (left), Vice President Planetarium Division, congratulated at the award ceremony.

Crystallography rocks! #1



In this picture, what looks like an abstract painting is actually graphite and feldspar in an ultra-high temperature granulite from the Kerala Khondalite Belt in India. Not only is feldspar beautiful, it is also the main rock-forming mineral in the Earth's crust.



2014 is the international year of crystallography (www.iycr2014.org). In the micROCKScopica series, we will show you a series of wonderful microscope images by Bernardo Cesare, Professor of Petrology in the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padova, Italy.

(SR4) Fast 85mm FE lens prime is on roadmap (to be disclosed at Photokina).

A FAKE rendering of a possible Sony 85mm f/1.8 FE lens (Source: Xitek.).

According to one source Sony will disclose a new FE lens roadmap right before Photokina. And he said there will be certainly a fast 85mm prime. He didn’t unveil specs and pricing info about the lens. Very unreliable rumor floating around the web say this could be a Zeiss 85mm f/1.8 lens. One thing is sure: Sony FE lens designer Naoki Miyagawa said he is “dreaming” about an ultra fast 85mm FE lens (Source: Lesnumeriques -google translation here).
