Never before has the world of photography seen such a lens. Developed for long distance wildlife photography this supertele lens provides 21x magnification. In search of the highest imaginable image quality the client decided for 6×6 medium format and the Hasselblad 203 FE as the best camera he is aware of.

At 1700 mm focal length and a speed of f/4 this lens put requirements on optical glas, lens assembly and quality assurance methods, never before encountered in photo lens manufacture. This 256 kg behemoth also required Carl Zeiss to develop totally new ways of operating a telephoto lens, including servo controlled aiming and focusing.

Microsoft Windows XP doesn’t offer much in the way of built-in tools for organizing your collection of digital and scanned photographs. Sure, you can launch the anemic Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and page through your images–but if you want to edit one of them, you’re dropped unceremoni­ously into Windows Paint. There’s no way to tag or caption your images so you can easily find them later, and watching a slide show in Win XP isn’t much more engaging than turning the pages in a photo album.

Considering the hugely growing popularity of digital imaging, I’d say it’s a good thing that Windows Vista manages to make the experience more appealing from start to finish. When I plugged in a digital camera, Vista seamlessly installed the drivers and asked if I wanted to apply a tag to all the images I was downloading. It also offered to rotate automatically any pictures that it thought were taken in a vertical rather than horizontal orientation. Moments later, Vista launched the Windows Photo Gallery application so that I could view and organize all my photos.
