Great Fun at the Prague Marathon

Four ZEISS teams took part in the relay event at the marathon in Prague. After 42 tough kilometers through the historic Old Town of Prague, all of the Zeissians reached the finish line in radiant sunshine and achieved excellent results. This was the first time ZEISS teams participated. For most of the runners, it was also the first race they had ever run - it was a challenge and a fantastic experience for everyone. Several of the runners have already announced that they will run the marathon in Prague again next year. Congratulations!

Diglloyd tests the new Batis lenses and says the 85mm Sonnar “Rocks”! And is as good as the 4 times more expensive Otus lens!

Diggloyd is the first photographer testing the new Zeiss Batis FE lenses. And his first impression is that he is…impressed

The Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 Sonnar rocks. What a gorgeous lens (the Zeiss Batis 25/2 also). MUST HAVES for Sony shooters.

Short of , you Zeiss Otus u’re not going to do any better at 25mm and 85mm on Canon and/or Nikon. And the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 surely looks to be a better lens than the Zeiss ZF.2 25mm f/2 Distagon. Which raises a nagging question I’ve been wondering about for 2-3 years: when is Zeiss going to raise its wide-angle game in the DSLR arena?

A camera system depends on its lenses, and the Zeiss Batis line now solidly anchors the Sony mirrorless platform. Along with the Sony 28mm f/2 (more review coverage coming) and the Sony/Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 and the prospect of a 50+ megapixel Sony A9, one wonders about Nikon and Canon and Fujifilm as distant runner ups in key markets like travel, landscape, wedding photography, etc. If only Sony would fix is dog excrement service and support.

It’s really amazing we have Zeiss 100% focused on the Sony FE system. With the Zeiss Batis and the Zeiss Loxia lens line we have some game changing options in for the Sony FE system. Now Sony it’s your turn to learn from the early FE camera faults and limits and improve them on the future A7 and A9 cameras! P.S.: And please, give us a proper bigger A9 soon!

Both Batis lenses are now available for preorder in USA and Europe (UK/Germany)
Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 lens in US at Adorama, Bhphoto. In Eu at Amazon DE, WexUK. In Asia at Digitalrev.
Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2.0 lens at Adorama, Bhphoto. In EU at Amazon DE, WexUK. In Asia at Digitalrev.
In Europe and Asia the Loxias can be found in Stock via eBay sellers (Click here) and Digitalrev (Click here).

On every trip to Hawaii – and anywhere else with clear(ish) water – I usually spend a couple good sessions in bright afternoon light trying to make a few photos of the waves. My wife puts up with it as she can just close her eyes, enjoy the sun and crashing of the waves and pretend she doesn’t know the guy with the camera standing in the surf, trying not to get hit by waves.
