LAFAYETTE — A former Jennings police chief who remained on the force after he stepped down as chief in 2010 has been arrested on suspicion he removed items from the department's evidence room.
Louisiana State Police said 52-year-old Johnny Lassiter was arrested Friday and is being held in the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center on $100,000 bond.
State police say Lassiter faces one count each of theft over $1,500, malfeasance in office, obstruction of justice and injuring public records.
According to a state police news release, Lassiter resigned Jan. 8.
Jennings Police Capt. Winston Guillory said Monday that Lassiter served as chief from 2006 until 2010. He declined further comment. Chief Todd D'Albor and Mayor Kerry Duhon did not immediately return messages left for comment Monday.
N.O. woman found dead in her home
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans police are investigating the death of a 26-year-old woman.
The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office identified the victim as Lauren Tanski.
John Gagliano, the coroner's chief investigator, says Tanski was found beaten and strangled inside of her early Monday morning.
Detectives have yet to determine a motive or suspects in the case.
School rape report
prompts changes
LAFAYETTE — The Lafayette Parish School System and Police Department have made adjustments to procedures at N.P. Moss Preparatory campus following the suspected rape of a female student last week.
Sandra Billeaudeau, district assistant superintendent of schools, said Monday the changes that were made was where the officers are located on campus.
The officers will assist staff in monitoring areas of the campus and adjacent property such as the Domingue Recreation Center.
Last week, two Moss Prep students were arrested in the rape of a female student inside the recreation center.
Cpl. Paul Mouton, police spokesman, said a 16-year-old student was arrested on one count of aggravated rape and a 13-year-old student was booked on one count of principal to rape.
Loaded gun found in student's backpack
BATON ROUGE — A 13-year-old student is in custody after a police officer found a loaded gun inside the student's backpack.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office says a School Drug Task Force officer assigned to the child's school found the .380-caliber handgun in the sixth-grader's back sack about 12:40 p.m. Monday. Capitol Middle School officials were investigating a verbal fight between two students when they found the gun, which was reported stolen.
The student faces charges of carrying a firearm by a student on school property and illegal possession of a stolen firearm.
DA's ex-secretary pleads guilty
in bribery case
LAFAYETTE — The former secretary and office administrator for the district attorney for Louisiana's 15th Judicial District has pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge for accepting bribes from defendants with pending criminal cases.
U.S. Attorney Stephanie A. Finley's office says the cases for which 58-year-old Barna D. Haynes received payments involved a variety of crimes, the majority of which were DWI cases.
Haynes, of Lafayette, entered the plea Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Patrick J. Hanna.
Prosecutors say Haynes admitted receiving $55,000 in bribes while working for District Attorney Mike Harson from a person identified in court documents only as a co-conspirator, but authorities contend the payments exceeded $70,000.
Sentencing has not been scheduled. Haynes faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
Covington man shoots son
COVINGTON — A Covington man is in custody for shooting his 19-year-old son during a house party.
Sheriff Jack Strain said Monday that 43-year-old Jody Camardelle was booked early Sunday with one count of second-degree battery. Bond has not been set.
Strain says his office responded to a call about the shooting just after 10 p.m. Saturday. Witnesses told deputies Camardelle and his son argued during the party. The son and his girlfriend then went to the front yard, but a short time later Camardelle emerged from the garage with a handgun and began shouting at his son. He then fired one round, striking the teenager in the stomach.
An ambulance transported the teenager to a New Orleans hospital, where he's being treated. His condition was not immediately available.
Bishop to lead Rapides Police Jury
ALEXANDRIA — Getting a $23 million project at the Rapides Coliseum off the ground is among the top priorities in 2013 for new Rapides Parish Police Jury President Joe Bishop.
Bishop, who represents District B, was elected without opposition to the post at the jury's monthly meeting Monday.
Bishop said he was "surprised and pleased" parish voters approved a $23 million bond issue in November to renovate and upgrade the coliseum. In addition to a property tax backing the bonds, voters approved a tax for maintenance and operations at the coliseum over 20 years.
Zachary man booked on obscenity counts
CLINTON — East Feliciana Parish sheriff's deputies have arrested a 47-year-old Zachary man after investigating complaints that he exposed himself to women.
Deputies booked Calvin Chapman Jr. Monday with two counts of obscenity.
Sgt. Kevin Garig says a woman filed a complaint in November saying that a man exposed himself to her as she was riding her bicycle in the Slaughter area. Deputies were unable to locate the man at the time.
Another woman reported Monday that she was driving on Midway Road when a man parked on the side of the road got out and allegedly pulled down his pants as she approached.
NOPD: Man fires shots, flees, commits suicide
NEW ORLEANS — A man fired a gun at New Orleans police and later fatally shot himself in the face.
New Orleans police say it happened about 11:45 a.m. Monday when officers tried to stop a man with a gun. According to police, the 20-year-old man began running and officers pursued him. During the chase, police say the suspect fired several shots and continued to run.
Officers did not return fire. No one was injured.
As a search continued for the suspect, officers heard a gunshot and later found the man in the back of an abandoned apartment complex. Police say he had shot himself in the face. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
Police say they recovered the gun allegedly used in the incident.

Ergo/Spin classes
Over 'winter' (April - October) we run spin classes at the Blackburn clubrooms
On Tuesday nights over the non-daylight savings part of the year, aboc runs a spin class at the Blackburn Cycling Club clubrooms. This isn't like a spin class at a gym, we do individualised and streamed programs for the riders that attend, and we provide dinner afterwards. Running from 7pm sharp 'til 8:30pm (9ish, including dinner) the classes are a way to do intensity training on a spin trainer in a social atmosphere, supervised by an aboc coach. Typically there's four streams running each night, a sprinters stream aimed at track sprinters, which takes about 45 minutes, and three enduro streams, from an introductory C stream, intermediate B stream and very hard, high intensity A stream. You can see our programs here. We advise that you arrive at around 6:30pm to get set up and organised.
Attendees bring their own bikes and spin trainers, aboc supplies the music, training programs and a feed afterwards.
We have a limited number of Kurt Kinetic Road Machine trainers for use by the sprint squad, which may be borrowed by arrangement only. Please do not assume that there will be a spare trainer for you to use!
The sessions cost $15 to attend which includes dinner. We do a season pass for $340 (normal cost $390) for all 26 sessions and a family discount for multiple people from a single family. Drinks are available at club prices (cans of soft drink are $2 etc). These sessions are open to any licenced rider. We request that you contact us to let us know you're coming so we can make sure we have sufficient food and know what to do for your program. Additionally you must hold some form of a current Cycling Australia licence. A Silver or platinum licence will suffice, which costs $65 for 2010. Dinner consists usually of a pasta and a meat and tomato sauce, and a vegetarian tomato sauce if we know any vegetarians are attending.
Attendance is capped at 32 riders, with preference being to Blackburn members, then aboc coached riders.
Family discount is as follows (casual only) :
$15 for the first person, $12 for the second, $10 for the third and four or more are $8 each. So for 4 people that's $45, including dinner.

Fitts's law
Fitts's law (often cited as Fitts' law) is a model of human movement primarily used in human–computer interaction and ergonomics that predicts that the time required to rapidly move to a target area is a function of the distance to the target and the size of the target. Fitts's law is used to model the act of pointing, either by physically touching an object with a hand or finger, or virtually, by pointing to an object on a computer monitor using a pointing device. It was proposed by Paul Fitts in 1954.
Contents |
Model [edit]
Fitts's law has been formulated mathematically in several different ways. One common form is the Shannon formulation (proposed by Scott MacKenzie, professor at York University, and named for its resemblance to the Shannon–Hartley theorem) for movement along a single dimension:
- T is the average time taken to complete the movement. (Traditionally, researchers have used the symbol MT for this, to mean movement time.)
- a represents the start/stop time of the device (intercept) and
- b stands for the inherent speed of the device (slope). These constants can be determined experimentally by fitting a straight line to measured data.
- D is the distance from the starting point to the center of the target. (Traditionally, researchers have used the symbol A for this, to mean the amplitude of the movement.)
- W is the width of the target measured along the axis of motion. W can also be thought of as the allowed error tolerance in the final position, since the final point of the motion must fall within ±W⁄2 of the target's center.
From the equation, we see a speed–accuracy trade off associated with pointing, whereby targets that are smaller and/or further away require more time to acquire.
Success and implications [edit]
Fitts's law is an unusually successful and well-studied model. Experiments that reproduce Fitts's results and/or that demonstrate the applicability of Fitts's law in somewhat different situations are not difficult to perform. The measured data in such experiments often fit a straight line with a correlation coefficient of .95 or higher, a sign that the model is very accurate.
Although Fitts only published two articles on his law (Fitts 1954, Fitts and Peterson 1964), there are hundreds of subsequent studies related to it in the human–computer interaction (HCI) literature, and quite possibly thousands of studies published in the larger psychomovement literature. The first HCI application of Fitts's law was by Card, English, and Burr (1978), who used the index of performance (IP), defined as 1⁄b, to compare performance of different input devices, with the mouse coming out on top. This early work, according to Stuart Card's biography, "was a major factor leading to the mouse's commercial introduction by Xerox".[1]
Fitts's law has been shown to apply under a variety of conditions, with many different limbs (hands, feet,[2] head-mounted sights,[3] eye gaze), manipulanda (input devices), physical environments (including underwater), and user populations (young, old, special educational needs, and drugged participants). Note that the constants a, b, IP have different values under each of these conditions.
Since the advent of graphical user interfaces, Fitts's law has been applied to tasks where the user must position a mouse cursor over an on-screen target, such as a button or other widget. Fitts's law models both point-and-click and drag-and-drop actions. Dragging has a lower IP associated with it, because the increased muscle tension makes pointing more difficult. Fitts's law has also been shown to model target-directed hand and head motions in a virtual environment.[4][5]
In its original and strictest form:
- It applies only to movement in a single dimension and not to movement in two dimensions (though it is successfully extended to two dimensions in the Accot-Zhai steering law);
- It describes simple motor response of, say, the human hand, failing to account for software acceleration usually implemented for a mouse cursor;
- It describes untrained movements, not movements that are executed after months or years of practice (though some argue that Fitts's law models behaviour that is so low level that extensive training doesn't make much difference).
If, as generally claimed, the law does hold true for pointing with the mouse, some consequences for user interface design include:[citation needed]
- Buttons and other GUI controls should be a reasonable size; it is relatively difficult to click on small ones.
- Edges and corners of the computer monitor (e.g., the location of the Start button, Taskbar and a maximized window's Close button in Microsoft Windows; or the menus and Dock of Mac OS X) are particularly easy to acquire with a mouse, touchpad or trackball. Because the pointer remains at the screen edge regardless of how much further the mouse is moved, they can be considered as having infinite width.[6][7] This doesn't apply to touchscreens, though.
- Similarly, top-of-screen menus (e.g., Mac OS) are sometimes easier to acquire than top-of-window menus (e.g., Windows OS).
- Pop-up menus can usually be opened faster than pull-down menus, since the user avoids travel: the pop-up appears at the current cursor position.
- Pie menu items typically are selected faster and have a lower error rate than linear menu items, for two reasons: because pie menu items are all the same, small distance from the centre of the menu; and because their wedge-shaped target areas (which usually extend to the edge of the screen) are very large.[8]
Fitts's law remains one of the few hard, reliable human–computer interaction predictive models, joined more recently by the Accot-Zhai steering law, which is derived from Fitts's law.
Mathematical details [edit]
The logarithm in Fitts's law is called the index of difficulty ID for the target, and has units of bits. We can rewrite the law as
Thus, the units for b are time/bit; e.g., ms/bit. The constant a can be thought of as incorporating reaction time and/or the time required to click a button.
The values for a and b change as the conditions under which pointing is done are changed. For example, a mouse and stylus may both be used for pointing, but have different constants a and b associated with them.
An index of performance IP (also called throughput TP), in bits/time, can be defined to characterize how quickly pointing can be done, independent of the particular targets involved. There are two conventions for defining IP: one is IP = 1/b (which has the disadvantage of ignoring the effect of a), the other is IP = IDavg/MTavg (which has the disadvantage of depending on an arbitrarily chosen "average" ID). For a discussion of these two conventions, see Zhai (2002). Whatever definition is used, measuring the IP of different input devices allows the devices to be compared with respect to their pointing capability.
Slightly different from the Shannon formulation is the original formulation by Fitts:
The factor of 2 here is not particularly important; this form of the ID can be rewritten with the factor of 2 absorbed as changes in the constant a. The "+1" in the Shannon form, however, does make it different from Fitts's original form, especially for low values of the ratio D/W. The Shannon form has the advantage that the ID is always non-negative, and has been shown[citation needed] to better fit measured data.
Derivation [edit]
Fitts's law can be derived from various models of motion. A very simple model, involving discrete, deterministic responses, is considered here. Although this model is overly simple, it provides some intuition for Fitts's law.
Assume that the user moves toward the target in a sequence of submovements. Each submovement requires a constant time t to execute, and moves a constant fraction 1-r of the remaining distance to the centre of the target, where 0 < r < 1. Thus, if the user is initially at a distance D from the target, the remaining distance after the first submovement is rD, and the remaining distance after the nth submovement is rnD. (In other words, the distance left to the target's centre is a function that decays exponentially over time.) Let N be the (possibly fractional) number of submovements required to fall within the target. Then,
Solving for N:
The time required for all submovements is:
By defining appropriate constants a and b, this can be rewritten as
The above derivation is similar to one given in Card, Moran, and Newell (1983). For a critique of the deterministic iterative-corrections model, see Meyer et al. (1990).[9]

violet flare
Back to Singapore from my recent Chinese New Year trip! More details on next post. How did you spend yours? :)
Mayfly Satchel by Chapman via Doorstep Luxury. Topshop loose top. Mango skirt. Zara suede boots.
Received this pretty MAYFLY SATCHEL BAG BY CHAPMAN from DOORSTEP LUXURY for christmas present and i love every bit of it. Apart from the gorgeous purple shade (my favourite) this bag is also spacious and has high quality craftmanship of its canvas and leather trimming. Chapman has been known as contemporary handcrafted bagmaker from England for years, they are inspired by sports such as fishing and safari, but adds contemporary twist to it. See the other Chapman bag styles, like satchels, shoulder bags, tote, and camera bags for men and women here.
(Chapman bag details: purple canvas with brown leather trimming and gold brass hardware)
I might say that this makes a perfect ladies camera bag! I can bring it for strolling around town as it fits my camera and 24-70 lens perfectly, to college as it holds A4 as well, and also for my recent Chinese New Year trip as cabin bag!
And for those of you who have not been to DOORSTEP LUXURY website, you should by now. They have various range of contemporary and cult designer goods to whet your appetite. See the latest collection by Singaporean designers, the A-Listers handbags from UK and New York to the famous Cambridge Satchel Company bags with one click! ps: they are having SALE now. dont miss it!

Managing Editor for Absolute Rights Tim Young has written the newest editorial on the just-passed New York gun laws.
Austin, TX (PRWEB) January 17, 2013
The Managing Editor for the fastest growing news and opinion website, AbsoluteRights.com, has published the most recent article about New York's gun laws. Tim Young writes about Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York legislature as they approve the measures that have changed firearm owner's rights and freedoms.
"The Democrat dominated New York State legislature voted 104-43 today to pass stricter gun laws in the State that already has the strictest gun laws in the nation," wrote Young.
The article didn't shy away from thoughts that this move could be a sign of things to come, as the Second Amendment is tested by authority figures in both local and national governments.
"Experts say that this really doesn't change anything in the already nearly gun-free state, but is the beginning of a nationwide trend to continue to attack the Second Amendment rights of Americans," said the article.
Young and the Absolute Rights team have offered more information with their latest Special Report How to Hide Your Guns, a detailed look at the best ways to securely and efficiently store firearms in easily-accessible yet unnoticed places.
Comments and reader engagement is one of the best indicators of a job well done, said Young, and Absolute Rights readers are adding an important aspect to the overall impact of the site. He sends a personal thank you to everyone who comments on his and other Absolute Rights contributors articles from the past, present, and future.

LOWELL -- A worker was injured Tuesday morning after falling 25 feet into the basement at the former St. Joseph's Hospital after an iron grate he was standing on broke loose.
Deputy Fire Chief Michael Cushing said the man, working with demolition crews at the old St. Joseph's Hospital near the corner of Merrimack and Pawtucket streets, was standing on top of an iron grate perched above a window well when the decades-old grate came loose, hurtling the man on a 25-foot free-fall.
"It was one heck of a ride, that's for sure," said Cushing, who added that the worker did not suffer life-threatening injuries.
Cushing said authorities are withholding the man's identity until his family is notified.
The man, according to Cushing, was conscious and alert at the time of the accident, which occurred just before 10 a.m. Emergency crews entered the shuttered hospital through a side entrance and quickly found the basement window well. He was carried to an awaiting ambulance within minutes. According to Cushing, the man was transported to Lowell General Hospital.
"Everyone worked well together as a team at that scene -- from police, fire and paramedics to university police," said Cushing.
It was still unclear whether the grate, which Cushing said was split into two separate pieces, fell on top of the man after his plunge.
"We're still not sure if he rode that grate down but I can tell you there were no complications getting him out of there,"
In January 2011, UMass Lowell announced it was planning to buy the complex at 220 Pawtucket St. A $6.3 million deal was inked later that month. The acquisition has been touted by school officials as a move that will link its various city campuses to a central point.
The building has been mostly vacant since the 1992 merger of St. Joseph's and St. John's hospitals, which led to the creation of Saints Medical Center.

Phillies buying into Charlie's call to be more selective at plate
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Some of the personnel has changed, but the core of the lineup remains.
Beginning with the Phillies' ascension to the top of the National League East in 2007 and continuing with their defense of a fifth consecutive division title this spring, five of the team's eight regulars remain. Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino and Carlos Ruiz.
More often than not, the Phils will win or lose based on the offensive production of those five players — especially the first four.
But during their five-year-long stranglehold of the National League East, the Phillies have morphed from a team built around MVP-caliber offensive players to one built around Cy Young Award-capable starting pitchers.
As offense-friendly managers go, you won't find many more hitting-happy than Charlie Manuel, who found a spot behind a batting cage on the first day of pitchers and catchers workouts last week. Although the action was on the mounds at the Carpenter Complex, Manuel wanted to be around the early-arriving hitters in Bright House Field.
Coming off consecutive seasons in which his team has fallen short of its World Series aspirations, Manuel, a former long-time hitting coach, is taking the matter personally. During the first week of camp, Manuel has made it a point to bring those regular players into his office.
Simply put: The offense needs to get better and it's up to Rollins, Utley, Howard and Victorino to right the ship.
"I've talked to almost all of our core players; we want to cut down on the number of at-bats we give away," Manuel said. "We give away a lot of at-bats. We want to turn some of those at-bats we've given away into quality at-bats, what I call team at-bats."
In each of the last two offseasons, the Phillies have heard their hitting approach criticized following unflattering offensive performances in the postseason.
Last October the Phillies scored one run in their final 17 innings of the NLDS against the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2010, they scored in just two of their final 15 innings in the NLCS against the San Francisco Giants. Continued...
Both of those opponents went on to win the World Series, while the Phillies went home. Whether it's those failed opportunities or the fact that none of them are getting any younger — or both — the Phils vets appear to be in tune with Manuel's message of taking a smarter approach to their hitting.
Rollins said it comes down to being more aware of situations and being disciplined enough not to swing if the situation dictates.
"The term 'giving away at-bats,' it's more about putting at-bats together that are going to benefit you and the team … just being able to concentrate," said Rollins, who talked with Manuel in the manager's office for a half hour last week. "It's about being consistent, knowing you can score four to six runs, day in and day out, you're going to win a lot of games with this (pitching) staff.
"If we do that, if we score four, it's just barely enough. If we score six, then we have this super-good offense. The difference is getting a break here and there and knowing the situation in that one at-bat. That will swing a run or two between a good offense and a great offense, and that's all it is. That's what Charlie is talking about in giving away at-bats; if they don't want to pitch to you, don't make an out. The guy behind you, lo and behold, could step up and get a hit."
When evaluating whether the Phillies have underachieved in the last two seasons, it's difficult to ignore the injuries. Rollins, Utley and Howard were in the starting lineup together for 34 games in 2010 and 68 in 2011.
While you can assume some of those injuries lingered in the postseason in both of those years, all three players were active in each of the last two playoffs and capable of producing. Thus, Manuel's call for a team-wide recommitment to smart hitting.
"I want our guys to talk about hitting," Manuel said.
"The communication aspect is very important," Victorino said. "Jimmy and I are similar, so how we approach certain guys, we can come back and communicate that. I'm not saying we haven't done that. We have done it. But there are different mind-sets and guys like (Jim) Thome have come in, a future Hall of Famer, and Charlie has been more involved in the aspects of talking about hitting, how a guy approaches you. Nowadays you have so much stuff you can look at. It's so much information. So I think if we communicate in that respect, that's good."
Since winning their first division title in 2007, the current Phillies group has seen its individual and collective offensive numbers slide.
In 2007, the Phils hit .274 with a .354 on-base percentage and a .812 OPS (on-base plus slugging). They hit 213 home runs and scored 892 runs. Continued...
In 2008, that slash line read .255/.332/.770 with 214 home runs and 799 runs. In '09, it was /258/334/.781 with 224 home runs and 820 runs.
In 2010: .260/.332/.745 with 166 home runs and 772 runs. Last season: .253/.323/.717 with 153 home runs and 713 runs.
In summary: Their power numbers and on-base numbers have decreased steadily with each season, leading to lower run outputs. To generate more offense, a better approach at the plate is essential.
"For years, you'd get ahead in the count and the mentality is, 'I get a free swing,'" Rollins said. "But it's only a free swing if you hit the ball fair. You hit the ball foul and you're like, why did I swing at that pitch? And you're lucky you hit the ball foul, because, overall, 2-0, 3-1 swings, it's a ground ball somewhere. Maybe you're looking fastball and it's not the right location. And you're up in the count and you figure you got a free swing. But it's not a free swing if you're walking back to that dugout.
"The point is, when that count is in your favor, you've got to know what you hit best, what you handle best and look for that pitch in that zone. If it's not that pitch in that zone, be disciplined enough not to swing."

The ring was exactly what I expected from what I saw on the website. It's beautiful and my wife was VERY happy with the gift.
Nice item but no way to size it without the additional expense of having a jeweler cut and braze it.

This was given as a gift and my friend absolutely loves the necklace. It is beautifully cut and an incredible blue color. Lokks much more expensive than the price of $145

eProtocol Training - Portland
On September 1st the Office of Research Integrity and Outreach will be making a BIG transition that will have major implications for Institutional Review Board (IRB) review at USM. We will begin using an eProtocol system.
All protocol submissions to the IRB will be done through the web (the great news is that this can be done from any computer, anywhere). That's right, no more hard copy submissions, and no more independent filings of amendments or continuing review forms, this will all be done through the eProtocol system.
With this transition in mind we have scheduled training sessions this summer to walk PIs and research staff through the eProtocol system. Please attend the training session that best meets your schedule. If additional training is needed or you are unable to attend one of the provided sessions please contact us at email@example.com to schedule an individual training.

The legend of Saint Anthony Abbot, a fourth-century Egyptian hermit, tells of how he heroically resisted the devil's torments. Here he conquers victorious over the devil, who writhes under his feet. The saint's staff originally would have impaled the monster's mouth. Saint Anthony's order was founded in Europe in the eleventh century and was dedicated to the care of the sick. The Antonites had two hospitals in Alsace—at Isenheim and at Strasbourg—and this powerful and dignified figure may have belonged to one of them. Carved in the round, it may have been carried in procession and, when at rest, housed in an altar shrine.

for this price, with manual focus....I couldn't care less.....
Previous news story Next news story |
Share: |
Carl Zeiss has announced the Distagon T* 2,8/15, a super-wide-angle lens for Canon EF and Nikon F mounts. The lens can focus from just 25cm (10") and offers a 110° field of view when mounted on a full-frame camera. It uses aspherical elements and abnormal partial dispersion glass in order to control distortion and chromatic aberration. It features an integrated lens hood and accepts 95mm threaded filters. It will be available from May for an MSRP of €2,148 or US $2,948.
Press Release:
Carl Zeiss presents the new Distagon T* 2,8/15 super wide angle lens
Carl Zeiss brings out a new super wide angle lens in May 2012. The super wide angle Distagon T* 2,8/15 will be available with an EF (ZE) or F bayonet (ZF.2). With an extra-large angle of view of 110 degrees in combination with a fast f/2.8 aperture, the lens enables the features for dramatic perspectives and performance demanded by the most ambitious landscape and architectural photographers. With a unique ability to capture events in a natural and extraordinary manner, it is also an ideal companion for advertising, journalism and commercial photography.
Thanks to the extreme angle of view of the lens, the fore- and background can be creatively emphasized in landscape and architecture photography. These applications will also benefit from the large depth-of-field, which provides a wide range of image sharpness from close-up up to infinity. With a close focus of 0.25m (10") – combined with a wide angle view – photographers can work in tight spaces, while also allowing focus on close-up details. Distortion is extremely well controlled, producing naturally proportioned photographs which are not typical of many other super wide angle lenses. "With the Distagon T* 2,8/15, Carl Zeiss sets the standard in super wide angle photography," says Dr. Michael Pollmann, Consumer Lenses Program Manager in the Camera Lens Division of Carl Zeiss AG. "Even at full aperture it achieves outstanding detail rendition and opens up room for extremely imaginative design."
The Distagon T* 2,8/15 incorporates two aspheric lenses and special types of glass material with abnormal partial dispersion to provide an extraordinary correction of chromatic aberration. A floating elements design guarantees high image quality from close-focus through infinity. Like the other SLR lenses in the ZE and ZF.2 series, stray light and reflections are well controlled by the Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating and the sophisticated treatment of the lens element edges with special light absorbing paint.
The robust all-metal barrel of the Distagon T* 2,8/15 is designed for decades of reliable service. A long focus rotation and buttery-smooth action is perfect for photographers who want to take control of their picture making, as well as for filmmakers looking for superior focus control. A nine blade aperture provides a nearly circular opening, producing natural looking out of focus details.
The lens shade is integrated into the design and helps to protect the lens surface from unintentional damage. The 95mm filter thread accepts all standard filters, including the recently released Carl Zeiss T* UV and POL filters.
The lens will begin shipping in May 2012 at a recommended retail price of €2,148 or US$2,948 (excluding VAT)*.
* Status: 16 March 2012
** Based on 35 mm format
for this price, with manual focus....I couldn't care less.....
You obviously have no idea what this lens is for or why it's beneficial to have manual focus.
I already have 35 f/1.4 ZE. Wht is the point to pay 3500 USD for super advanced AF on 5D MKIII and have MF lens?
I find that very wide manual focus lenses are hard to focus precisely. And in case you wonder about me, I am an architectural shooter who uses Canon TSE MF lenses and has to resort to live view or tethering for precise focus with the 17 and 24. So an MF 15mm f 2.8 may be tricky to focus using Nikons and Canons that have screens that are not optimized for MF. (Lack micro-prisms or split image aids.)
"Infinitely Wide" seems like a pretty hyped up expression since lenses this wide have been around for some time and we can always stitch for much wider views.
In Nikon there is the focus confirmation dot, and its accurate especially for high dof lenses like a 15 mm.
If you've got the money (I don't), there are worse vices. IMHO, even if the glass was parity between the top brands, the significant advantage Zeiss and Leitz still have over other wonderful lenses are their coatings. While is this is totally a personal preference issue, the T* Zeiss coating is magic. How much that additional magic is worth in dollars is a good question. (At the other end of the financial spectrum, some of the Maxxum lenses, available on craigslist for fifty bucks, have Minolta coatings that still might be the pick of the litter of Japanese optics.)
I'm not sure that Minolta lenses were ever much of any little picks. A few weren't bad but essentially Minolta was more consumer based and the coatings were average.
I also don't think Zeiss T coating is any better than any other multi coating offered by most companies. Pentax SMC coatings have always been superb and Nikon's new Nano coatings are without peer right now.
Naah, I prefer the T* over Nano but the difference isn't large. Have you used both?
nope, but Zeiss lenses are really good making movies on a D-SLR. This one is too expensive wish I had that kind of money.
It will be the great lens if it can removed hood. :P
Good grief, how long can Zeiss rely on their name to sell their clunky, overpriced, and often inferior products to gullible amateurs. Tests comparing their lenses to the Canon and Nikon counterparts show that these lenses do not live up to their hype.
inferior optics? Seriously? The ZF and ZE lenses are extremely sharp, great contrast and nice metal barrels. They are popular with still and video shooters for a reason. And I can assure you it's not because of inferior optics.
What "tests" are you talking about that reveal that CZ optics are inferior to the (non-overpriced?) Nikon and Canon lens? Your personal tests I assume? Because SLR gear's tests (including of the new Sony 16-50 2.8 (non-CZ, non-G lens) suggests otherwise. Give me ONE objective measurement site of lens gear that supports your Canikon fanboy position. One.
Canon stopped down two whole stops, Zeiss wide open, you wanna argue still?
You've obviously never used the Zeiss 21mm then. Before making sweeping statements like that I suggest you give it a try, I'm quite sure you will be blown away. :)
To Viggo - Good job cherry-picking your data. That particular lens is easily the softest lens in the Carl Zeiss group, particularly wide open. I personally believe that it's a bit of an embarrassment to Zeiss again particularly wide open. Are you comparing a stopped down Canon to a wide-open Zeiss? Whatever happened to the idea of a level playing field?
How about a more representative lens such as the 35mm F2 lens. http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/1145/cat/98.
The problem I have here relates more to your categorical statements/dismissive tone. I can find Canon lenses including in the L group that are not particularly sharp for their high price. Does that suggest that all Canon lenses suck? Or are overpriced? Probably not.
As someone once said, life is mostly about the shades of gray we actually live in as opposed to the black and the white we prefer and believe that we see clearly. if you are happy in your black and white world, then go for it.
Except for chromatic aberration, the Zeiss 21mm does not compare so well against e.g. Tokina 16-28mm:
(check measurements - field map)
Douglas, the two stops were required to equalize the settings. The Canon has to be stopped down to get to the Zeiss's slower aperture.
You can't complain about cherry picking. You said "Give me ONE objective measurement site of lens gear that supports your Canikon fanboy position. One." so he did. You should be more specific in your challenges.
here's another one;
I think people kind of missed the point that I am serioulsy impressed wit the Zeiss lenses.... I have the 24 L II and the TS 17 which are frikkin' amazing, I'm surprised to see the Zeiss 18 match the TS 17. We all know the tS is also mf, but it can do other tricks, but as a normal 17ish lens, the Zeiss is fantastic. I use my Zeiss 28mm f2 A LOT, it's a great way to shoot with that mf-ring.
Nice, but a 14-24 Nikkor is certainly no slouch!
and suddenly the panasonic 7-14mm does not seem that expensive any more..
Agree that the Sigma 8-16 is a fine lens, esp for the $ and sharpness is pretty good for a zoom. Lots of shooting options out wide with this lens.
And I've been pretty happy with my Sigma 12-24 II on a FF, but wish it were faster. Still, it's a steal at half the price of the Canon 14 2.8 and a third of this price!
Been looking for an entry point and this is it. Call me a gutter snipe if you like but I have a Sigma 10-20mm and I love it, perhaps I have a good sample. Images have terrific contrast and outstanding colour saturation even compared to my Nikon 50mm f1.8 prime lens. Bonus!for those praising the Zeiss lens, my wider Sigma has filter threads.
@vividexposures Another way of putting it is that it distorts the image in the way that seems natural to a human viewer
Check out this review of the m-mount version of the lens
The images just look "right"
I think they must be referring to minimizing the barrel distortion common to other Distagons and other retrofocus design wide lenses, not the natural perspective distortion of wide-angle lenses. If wide zooms with retrofocus design have a range that includes little distortion, it seems like someone could use the formula for that part of the zoom to create a prime with little distortion. We'll have to see what "extremely well controlled" means when somebody gets ahold of one to test.
Probably not a bad idea to have two separate news sections for lens news:
1. For pros who can justify $3000 for a lens; and,
2. For everyone who jumps to the bottom of the news item first, just to see if the cost merits further reading.
An alternative would be to flag the news item with a color coding system:
1. Green for go, within reason for most users; and,
2. Red for stop, don't even think about buying this!
I prefer to read about all gear. Then decide if the price/performance ratio make's it a suitable piece of kit for my needs.
It's an impressive specification, and the MTF chart is equally impressive, but I'm not sure it's legitimate to call the focus rotation "long". The cramped depth-of-field scale and sparse distance markings – note there's nothing between 0.8 metres and infinity – make zone focusing more difficult than it needs to be. This is a problem shared with the 21 mm Distagon, but the 18 mm Distagon does much better in this regard. I would love to know Zeiss' reasons for choosing the different focus "speeds" of the various Distagons.
You are right. First thing for me when seeing the photo of the lens was the surprise how narrow the depth of field scale is. A pity.
"Distortion is extremely well controlled, producing naturally proportioned photographs which are not typical of many other super wide angle lenses."
How is that possible?
I'm sure it's a fine lens. However is it better than the Tokina 116 which according to reviews works well FX when stopped down slightly? On my Nikon DX bodies gives virtually the same FOV as this one gives on FX. Maybe it's more a fashion statement than anything else!!
Your Tokina will work but the edges will be soft and this Zeiss will ate it alive for supper. Jeez, comparing an FX lens and DX lens is bad enough, just having a though the DX lens will beat an FX lens in FX is ridiculous!
Have a look at the new lens MTF. People, do think before you write something!
As a professional architectural photographer I would say that for roughly $2,500 there may not be a better all around lens than the Canon Wide Tilt/Shift TS-E 17mm f/4L Manual Focus EOS.
Exceptionally sharp. Superb rectilinear geometry. Great contrast and color fidelity. Practically no halation or chromatic aberrations. And the shift function is terrific for multiple panorama exposures stitched together into an equivalent 10mm undistorted interior or exterior architectural study… the money shots that will get you repeated business.
You hit the nail on the head. Distortion often works for me in a creative sense. For you it would be disaster. Like you if I need to stitch images I chose a distortion, vignetting free lens not the extreme wide angle 'fun' lens I own.

Poder de Credibilidad: 0 Reputación: 850 | [center][img]http://picturefunk.com/thumb/472091/eoo4Vg.jpg[/img][/center] The neighborhood swimming pool sparkled with light as a warm yellow sun settled near the horizon. After spending most of the summer with their families, Georgia and Francesca at last found themselves alone together. As the girls waded into the water, they playfully compared breasts and nipples. They moved closer and closer… until their noses almost touched. What happened next felt completely natural; their lips came together in several slow, sweet, passionate kisses. "Can I give you a massage," Georgia asked as they climbed out of the pool. She dripped oil over Francesca's skin and let her fingers wander. A slow dance of seduction ensued… Francesca's legs seemed to open on their own, inviting Georgia to come inside.
