[Leica] Zeiss Lenses on Nikon F

[red735i at earthlink.net (Frank Filippone)]

The new ZEISS lenses for Nikon F mount have made big news worldwide since
we announced them in CLN 23.

The enthusiasm will undoubtedly continue to build as more and more
enthusiasts read about the whopping performance (see test results below)
and the quite affordable prices.

For the ZEISS IKON system we can now share with you some of our test data
using production equipment instead of prototypes. The performance, across
the board, is quite impressive - far above the capabilities of digital
cameras and scanners. This begins to explain why we are so convinced that
photography still needs silver halide film. We are pleased that the
marketplace of serious photographers agrees with us.

Here in CLN 24 we introduce to you two high-resolution films that we used
in our recent tests. These films allow every photographer to conduct his or
her own tests to determine each lens's "sweet spot", and to see just how
great the difference between film and digital photography is. We are, of
course, quite proud that the capabilities of the new ZEISS lenses meet or
exceed those of the highest resolution films on the market.

When digital catches up with film, you may be confident that your ZEISS
lenses will take you to the top of the class. Meanwhile, we wish you
"ZEISS-quality" photographic results - whether you're shooting analog or
digital.

Yours,
Kornelius Mueller
