New measurements for Carl Zeiss lenses now available on DxOMark: The emphasis is placed on texts received from customers describing how they use our products. Other topics covered include product developments, interesting applications and services, orders and cooperation ventures. “Innovation” appears twice a year in German and English. Six month after we started image quality data for lenses, we now have 105 lenses being measured on DxOMark. Each lens being evaluated for many compatible cameras that is more than 1,000 camera/lens combinaisons available! Carl Zeiss launched its annual global photography competition. This year’s theme is “Light is my language”. Photographers and photo enthusiasts are invited to illustrate and capture the theme from their own perspective. Anyone can participate, provided the images are shot with ZEISS lenses. It doesn’t matter if the picture was taken with an SLR camera or a camera phone. “Light is the most important creative means in photography. Every photographer speaks his own language and ultimately expresses his creative messages through light and shadow,” explains Martin Klottig, Marketing Manager of the Carl Zeiss Camera Lens Division. There are many ways of expressing one’s creativity through light and shadow. With light reflections, messages in bokeh (the out-of-focus area of an image), colorful accents derived from long exposure times or the soft glimmer of barely discernable light, photographers give their images meaning. “We are looking for photographers who can make something visible that would otherwise remain hidden. The award-winning pictures will exude both creativity and conscious composition,” adds Klottig. For the first time, anyone will be able to follow the competition during its entire duration on Flickr, the global online photo community. Participants in the competition should upload their best image that fits the “Light is my language” theme and tag it with the keyword “ZEISSContest2010” on the official Carl Zeiss group on Flick.

This shot will only work with a fast lens with short focal length and harmonious bokeh. Carl Zeiss introduces a new lens for just such images: the Distagon T* 1,4/35. By introducing the Distagon T* 1,4/35, Carl Zeiss is complementing the Planar T*1,4/50 and T*1,4/85 lenses with a wide-angle lens that shares the same high speed. Crisp, sharp images work every time, whether at dusk or in the weak lighting conditions of a café, and without the need for a tripod. With its 35-mm, the Distagon T* 1,4/35 matches the classic and versatile standard focal lengths when used on cameras with APS-C sensor formats. Due to the special bokeh effects in both the foreground and background areas, the Distagon T*1,4/35 opens up new creative possibilities, giving photographers more options to ‘play’ with focus. Thanks to its large focus ring, photographers can also create highly accurate, sharp pictures, even at maximum aperture opening. In addition, the optical construction of the lens guarantees high image quality across the entire image range. Furthermore, with one step less than the full aperture opening, the light fall-off toward the edges is just one f-stop. With the ZEISS T*‘s anti-reflective coating, its sophisticated stray light reduction and the excellent flare control the new Distagon also takes pictures of bright light sources without artifacts. The Distagon T*1,4/35’s extremely long-lasting and robust all-metal precision mechanics, for which Carl Zeiss is known, make this lens perfect for use on-the-go and for photo reports. The Distagon T* 1,4/35 will be available in first quarter of 2011 at a recommended retail price of €1385.71 (excluding VAT)*. Technical specifications
