Zeiss Posts Technical Article Index

Submitted by Double Negative on March 2, 2015 - 9:31am

You may have seen us reference technical articles by Zeiss in many of our Zeiss ZM lens reviews over the years, such as the C Sonnar T* 1,5/50 ZM or the incredible Biogon T* 2,8/25 ZM. Well, over the course of this time, Zeiss has published a lot of interesting technical articles about the physical basics of camera lenses - but not every article can be found that easily. That’s why they decided to publish them all in one blog post to give you easy access.

Unfortunate Theft in Chicago Suburb

Submitted by Double Negative on March 2, 2015 - 6:52am

The Chicago Tribune has an unfortunate entry in their Police Blotter section for yesterday... Be careful who your friends are. Hopefully this is sorted out and the items returned to their rightful owner!

Residents of the first block of Linden Avenue told police Feb. 24 that someone got into their home between 11:15 a.m. Feb. 22 and 6 p.m. Feb. 24, and stole more than $36,000 worth of goods without tripping the home's burglar alarm. The losses included a Leica camera valued at $25,000, camera lenses valued at a total of $10,000, 12 bottles of wine valued at a total of $1,000 and two boxes of cigars. Police said a friend of one member of the family, who was invited to stay overnight on Feb. 20, might have committed the burglary. The residents told police they suspect the same person stole $1,000 in cash when a family member invited the person to stay overnight Feb. 20.
