Carl Zeiss announces new 18mm super wide angle lens for SLR cameras

OBERKOCHEN/Germany, 25.06.2008.

Distagon T* 3,5/18: the super wide angle lens for dramatic perspectives

Carl Zeiss expands its range of SLR lenses with the addition of the Distagon T* 3.5/18 super wide angle lens. With an impressive field of view of 99°, this new, rectilinear lens provides dramatic perspectives for architectural, landscape and close-range photography for photographers utilizing full-frame DSLRs or film-based cameras. The Distagon T* 3.5/18 is a derivative of the ZEISS designs for the Contax RTS series of cameras, but utilizing all modern materials and eco-friendly glass materials.

The Distagon T* 3.5/18 is designed with a floating lens element in the rear lens assembly, which results in impressive image quality from infinity to the closest focus range. Utilizing the superior ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating and critically designed interior elements, the lens is remarkably free from stray light artifacts and internal reflections. Images are brilliantly rendered, with extremely crisp resolution right to the edges – even at wide-open apertures under the most difficult lighting conditions. Like all Carl Zeiss SLR lenses, the Distagon T* 3.5/18 uses the ZEISS ‘color matching technology’, which provides homogeneous color rendition across all focal lengths in the product range. The front filter diameter of 82 mm allows for use of standard screw-in filters when combined with the included lens shade.

In addition to the outstanding optical qualities, the special hallmarks of all ZEISS lenses are designed into the Distagon T* 3.5/18. This includes...

Pigeons at Kokura


There were a lot of pigeons behind Kokura Castle. There were some colorful pigeons and they congregated there probably because there were a couple of people feeding them. It was a good opportunity to take out my Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM telephoto zoom for some shots. I am quite pleased with them, I hope you will like them too.

Kokura ??


Kokura (??, Kokura?) is an ancient castle town and the center of Kitaky?sh?, Japan, guarding, via its suburb Moji, the Straits of Shimonoseki between Honsh? and Ky?sh?. Kokura is also the name of the penultimate station on the southbound Sanyo Shinkansen line, which is owned by JR Ky?sh? and an important part of the company’s rail network. Ferries connect Kokura with Matsuyama on Shikoku, and Busan in Korea.

Kokura had been the primary target of the nuclear weapon “Fat Man” on August 9, 1945, but on the morning of the raid, the city was obscured by clouds and smoke from an earlier fire-bombing of the neighboring city of Yahata. Since the mission commander Major Charles Sweeney had orders to only drop the bomb if the target was sighted, he ordered the mission to proceed to the secondary target of Nagasaki, where the weapon was dropped. Hence the Japanese talk of the “luck of Kokura”. Kokura had been the secondary target of the “Little Boy” bomb, which had been dropped three days earlier by the Click to continue reading "Kokura ??"

Tiny Tips 14: Hold your Camera Right

The first rule of holding your camera is that it should be steady. This will ensure that you get sharper pictures in lower lighting situations, and that your pictures are sharper in general.

If you’re using a dSLR, put your left hand below, supporting the base of the camera, with the index finger and thumb positioned to adjust focus/zoom. Support your left elbow with your chest and grip the camera body firmly with your right hand, positioning your right index finger above the shutter release.

Posture is important too. Stand firm and erect with your feet spread apart a bit. Do not lean forward, this will make your stance unsteady. Standing straight and with good posture will also reduce strain on your back, especially if you’re carrying a lot of gear.

Fukuoka City


After eating Hakata ramen for lunch, we took a stroll around Hakata station.

After a short stroll away from Hakata station, we arrived at Canal City, a large shopping complex in Fukuoka city.

We had coffee and cake at Canal City. The cake was delicious. It was made with multiple layers of crepes with cream and strawberries between the layers of crepes.

Customer Review: The Camera I waited for!

Pros: Tiny, light, has lots of features, but easy enough for my mother to use.

Cons: No rechargeing cradle (yet?)

“I’ve been using digital camera’s since many years ago when Apple made a ginormous creation that was just the most awesome thing ever. I’ve passed for years (about 12 of them now) on buying a digital camera as I have a very nice SLR 35mm, and wanted a camera with high quality, good durability, but be tiny, light and offer me a lot of the macro’s I enjoy on my SLR.

Nikon has created (at last!) the camera that meets my demands. Additionally, it is idiot-proof (turn on, push button, camera will handle everything else in basic
