Another New Carl Zeiss Lens 21mm f/2,8

The team at Carl Zeiss seem to to have dedicated this week just for announcements. Along with the Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 and the Planar T* 85mm f/1.4, Carl Zeiss has announced another new lens to be added to the SLR line-up, the legendary Distagon T* 21mm f/2.8. Ideal for all wide angle requirements, including architecture, landscapes, journalism and anywhere else a lens like this can contribute. Being introduced for SLR cameras with EF (Carl Zeiss for Canon), F (Nikon Mount) and K (Pentax mount) bayonets, these lenses are expected to hit the shelves by the the year ending 2008.
ProPix has always been suggesting the Zeiss lens because of its' ability to render colors, and images just the way a photographer imagines it to be. Freedom to create images, rather than just taking pictures, is how we look at it.
Carl Zeiss 18mm f3.5 was a surprise even for us, but the 21mm f/2.8 nicely rounds off a gap that has existed for some time. I personally can't wait to get my hands on one. Bangalore offers so many photographic opportunities, both for the professional photographers, and also for serious enthusiasts. a Carl Zeiss wide-angle as a walk around lens which can also perform well in low light is an excellent tool to add to the camera bag.

Carl Zeiss For Canon, Definitely

So, we now have the Carl Zeiss site calling it the ZE. Speculation and conjuncture aside, we are really looking forward to the lenses (read original article here).
Sure Canon has some really good lenses. So does Nikon. But Nikon users still turn to a Zeiss lens when they want the best in glass. The Zeiss lenses are sharp. Sharper than any media available today can reproduce. If I want real colors and sharp images, I use a Zeiss lens. After all, I know that when I print the image or share it with a paying customer, I would much rather use a good lens give them what they are paying me for.
Our customers include doctors, and designers, who swear by the results of the 100mm Makro Planar f2, and the Distagon 25mm.
So when someone asked us the other day, why all this fuss about some lens which is yet to reach the market, I could only say, "It's because these are the sharpest lenses in the world. Nothing less".
Oh, and it helps that they are beautifully crafted and engineered to perfection.

Carl Zeiss Lenses For The Nikon F Mount From ProPix.in

The Photo Today 2008 exhibition at Kanteerva Indoor Stadium, Bangalore, saw the official launch of Carl Zeiss lenses for Digital and Film SLR cameras, by ProPix. Available for the Nikon F mount and the Pentax K mount, these lenses bring with them the promise of performance levels that far exceed anything available in the market.
The entire range of F Mount lenses for the Nikon Digital and Film SLR lenses including the Distagon T* f3.5 18mm, Distagon T* f2.8 25mm, Distagon T* f2 28mm, Distagon T* f2 35mm, Planar T* f1.4 50mm, Planar T* f1.4 85mm, Makro-Planar T* f2 50mm, Makro-Planar T* f2 100mm are available.

ProPix, the authorised stockist for Karnataka, said that Zeiss was very forthcoming in setting prices specially for the Indian market, such that it is cheaper to buy theses lenses in India, than to import them from overseas. The landed cost of the Carl Zeiss lenses are well below what an individual would pay if they were to import them and pay the usual duties and taxes.
