Zeiss’s Magic Glass
Did you know that Zeiss is in the business of selling magic? I'm not talking about prestidigitation, here--I mean real wizardry packaged in metal and glass.

Comparing the Sigma and Canon 50mm to the Zeiss 55mm
Editor's Note: This is a guest post from Roger Cicala of LensRentals.com I suspect Ill never be on any manufacturers early review copy list for new lenses.

So when we received our first Sigma 50 f/1.4 Art lenses for rental stock I really didn't plan on posting about it. But I always think its worthwhile to review multiple copies of a lens bought off-the-shelf from retailers. Plus, well have our new MTF bench installed in another … [Read more...] about Comparing the Sigma and Canon 50mm to the Zeiss 55mm
