<p>I have finally purchased the <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/850101-REG/Zeiss_1964831_Distagon_T_15mm_f_2_8.html/bi/2466/kbid/3296" target="_blank">Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8</a> and will be putting it through paces on a two week trip to Namibia beginning on April 6. For filters, I’ll be using the <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/909610-REG/Sigma_afj960_95mm_DG_Single_Coated_Circular.html/bi/2466/kbid/3296" target="_blank">Sigma 95mm DG Circular Polarizer</a>, as well as large <a href="http://singh-ray.com/grndgrads.html" target="_blank">Singh-Ray grads</a> when needed.</p>
<p>My immediate first impressions are quite good, amazing build quality, great zoom ring and the silly test shots looks terrific. I’ll be shooting exclusively with the <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892349-REG/Canon_8035b002_EOS_6D_Digital_Camera.html/bi/2466/kbid/3296" target="_blank">EOS 6D</a> on this trip.</p>
<p>Justin has received the <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/909812-REG/Sigma_137101_120_300mm_f_2_8_DG_OS.html/bi/2466/kbid/3296" target="_blank">Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 DG OS</a> for review and he’ll be putting it through the paces with the <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/827036-REG/Canon_5253B002_EOS_1D_X_EOS_Digital.html/bi/2466/kbid/3296" target="_blank">EOS-1D X</a>. He’s already shocked at the size and weight of the lens. No, it’s not a “hand holding” lens for most people. The first 2 negatives you can give the lens is the heavy and unnecessary metal lens hood and the equally enormous tripod foot. Third party accessory makers could surely knock a pound off the lens replacing both parts with lighter weight materials.</p>
<p>Optically and AF wise the lens is very good with initial test shots, Justin has the USB dock and will also put that through its paces.</p>
<p>Both reviews should be online some time in April, though I’ll be posting images from the Zeiss 15mm as the trip progresses.</p>
