27 December, 2013 – Field Review – Zeiss Touit 12mm lens
27
Dec
All of us at Luminous-Landscape hope you had a good holiday. In less than a week we start a new year and you can count on new articles, reviews and videos as well as a new line up of workshops.
Legendary glass maker Zeiss has gotten a lot of attention in the last few years as they started to make lenses for the DSLR camera systems. They didn’t miss a beat when it came to the APS-C sensor category either. Earlier this year they released two lenses with the family name of Touit. The two new lenses are a 12mm 2.8 and a 32mm 1.8 for the Fuji X system and the Sony NEX cameras. Today’s article by István Nagy takes a closer look at the Zeiss Touit 12mm lens. There are plenty of reviews of this lens out there but István takes a look at the lens in real world use. Read . . . Field Testing the Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 Lens
If you are a Fuji X system user and you haven’t heard, there is now new firmware updates available for the X-Pro1 as well as most of the lenses. This is a nice update and you should visit the Fuji Update page to learn more. You’ll also be able to update your lenses. Fuji also updated firmware on the original X100. We have to give Fuji Kudos for keeping there cameras updated with the latest firmware features.

The end of the year is a great time to take a moment to reflect on what you have learned and/or accomplished in the last 365 days. Traditionally on Strobist, we take the last few days to look back, to buy a little family time and plan for the next year's adventure.

A number of years ago I (Kevin Raber) was drivng through the Iceland countryside with Mark Dubovoy. Our discission was on printing. Mark was sharing how he makes profiles and how important it is to be precise. No surprises there if you know Mark. I told him I didn’t do any of that because I had been using ImagePrint Software for years and the profiles included with ImagePrint were so good I couldn’t come close in my experience making such a good profile, Bottom line Mark tried Imageprint out and low and behold he switched. He even reviewed Imageprint on this site.
Today we hear right from John Pannozzo who is the man behind ImagePrint with an article Building A Better Profile – It’s All in The Recipe
