Did you know how the State Hermitage restores archaeological objects? The archa...
The archaeological collection of the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg comprises over 2.7 million items. But before these can be shown to the visitors, the artifacts must firstly pass through the hands of the experienced restorers and their ZEISS microscopes.
Above all, the ZEISS microscopes mounted on an adjustable arm serve to remove contamination or coats of paint from old and sensitive surfaces. In the case of glass, even the tiniest fragments are pieced back together.

Zeiss 16-35mm FE lens first impression review by Colby Brown.
Colby Brown (Click here) got the new 16-35mm FE Zeiss and posted his first impression review:
When you hold it in your hand, it doesn’t feel cheap. It feels solid. Why? Because instead of using plastic like many camera/lens manufacturers these days, they use a metal finish, both for the lens body itself and for the focus ring, which truly does make a difference when you are holding it in your hands. On top of this, the lens is listed as dust and water resistant, a feature I plan on putting to the test since a hurricane is currently moving through Hawaii as we speak.
Other reviews so far from Brian Matiash from Photofocus and at Techbang (google tranlsation here). Image samples at Mark Galer’s Flickr page (Click here).
