This is a clever, 30 min video by CPN (Canon Professional Network), showing British photographer Don McCullin being introduced to digital photography (to the EOS 5D Mark III in particular). The mentor of the moment is Jeff Ascough, Canon Ambassador of Light. Well, Don McCullin is (or was) a Nikon film camera shooter :-).

It’s a commercial video, that’s true, but I have seen lots of commercials that are much worse than this. This one is a nice and charming video.

Zeiss officially announced they will no longer have the “Carl” on their lenses. To some degree, this is a historical development for a company that used the “Carl Zeiss” mark for a century. On Zeiss Blog they write:

“ZEISS is now taking this development into account in its decision to create consistency across its brand communications.”

All future lenses will be branded just “Zeiss”. For a listing of Zeiss lenses for Canon DSLRs click here.
