Diglloyd: Zeiss 35mm ZM Rendering Style Sets New Benchmark. But doesn’t work well on the A7.


Digglloyd is the first reviewer that has tested the new Zeiss ZM 35mm f/1.4 lens and writes:



It is unequivocally the star of the ZM lineup. In terms of operational excellence, I rank it above all my Leica M lenses.” And “Rendering Style Sets New Benchmark”.



But there is also a bad news:



but what a pity that the thick sensor cover glass of Sony A7-family cameras degrades its ultra high grade performance via ray angle (as with all wide angle M lenses).



I do hope Zeiss will release an optimized “Loxia” version of this lens in 2015!

World Sight Day 20 to 30 minutes - just the time some people take for breakfast...

World Sight Day



20 to 30 minutes - just the time some people take for breakfast - can bring light into the darkness of visually impaired people: this is the time a cataract surgery takes.



Here are a few more facts of the World Sight Day:

* Worldwide, about 40 million people are blind

* Every fourth person, a total of around 285 million people, have a moderate or severe visual impairment

* Each year, 1-2 million people go blind



This year, the 'Call to Action' for World Sight Day is “No more Avoidable Blindness”: about 80% of visual impairment could be avoided.
