Updated April 3, 2. Posted January 5, 2. I have a high respect for Zeiss lenses. The original Made in Germany Zeiss lenses for my Hasselblad ELX cameras still work today more than I can say for these models which Hasselblad abandoned cant even get batteries for them any more. But Zeiss lenses, most of them at least, are no longer made in Germany though fortunately not made in China.

I will be writing Zeiss today to ask for a replacement and filing a complaint in appropriate places because this is what you expect from a lens made cheaply. And not what I expect from a lens shade made in Japan either. I assume it is something on the lens shade, but since I do all my photography in the jungles of Guatemala, it is not easy to return an item for repair, especially since I work as a consultant for wide format inkjet printer trade shows in Shanghai, Istanbul, Dubai, and Johannesburg, plus was in Taipai last month the Zeiss lens went to zero of these locations since I use my DSLR cameras only in Guatemala. So I am almost never at my desk, but when I saw how many photographers had problems, this raised alarms.

We appreciate the shipment of Widetone Seamless backdrop paper from Savage Universal Corporation. Plus two rolls of vinyl, a background material we have not used before. Some of the things we photograph are from the rivers or lakes, so paper gets stained with water. So we want to try vinyl in these situations. Also we have received to evaluate the Macro. ART Variable Auto Extension Tube, and the Macro ART Adjustable Dual Arm LED light system two lights. We will be posting more information on the advantages of this equipment during the coming year 2. In the meantime, you can learn more about the diverse range of products available from Savage from their web site www.

Updated January 2. November 2. 8, 2. We have a nice 1. GB, SDxc memory card from Lexar. But the un. LOCK button slides to LOCK position when we insert the card into the camera. We have never had this problem with any other brand of memory card as you can guess, we test cards of many brands. At Photokina we noticed several other brands which we look forward to evaluating in the future. If Lexar has a better card that they can send us, then we will give it a try. But in the meantime, I am really disappointed at this issue with this Lexar memory card. Lexar did have the courtesy to send us a replacement card, and as soon as I fly to my USA office I will pick it up. Hopefully it will last an adequate time.

We will do a separate page on SAVAGE products as soon as possible. SWAROVSKI OPTIK offers digiscoping combinations. In a few months they should have new models which we would like to evaluate for opening up potential new markets more than bird photography. We feel that more photographers should learn the differences between a SWAROVSKI telescope on your camera compared to a normal telephoto lens. The Leica and Sinar booth was hospitable. The new model of the Leica S system is a medium format camera we could definitely compare with our past years experience with Hasselblad, Leaf, Phase One, and other high resolution cameras. Since we had attended three international trade shows before Photokina and attended two more after Photokina, the overall trip was about 4. But as soon as possible we will update pertinent pages on this digital photography site. During early December we will take 1. WD vehicles to remote jungle covered mountain areas of Guatemala.
