Telephoto Power Pack (TPP): first results in print
Currently several prototypes of the Carl Zeiss Telephoto Power Pack (the Tele Superachromat T* 1:2,8/300 and the Apo-Mutar 1,7 x plus polarizing filter) are in the hands of professional photog-raphers for field testing of the new optics and exploring the new creative potential the TPP brings to the Hasselblad system. These photographers use Hasselblad focal plane shutter cameras (like 202 FA, 203 FE) and they specialize in fields like fashion, beauty, science, editorial, landscape, industrial. Their reactions are enthusiastic throughout.
In the meantime some first photos taken with the TPP have been published in print:
”Innovation”, a full color magazin published by Carl Zeiss in German and English had a first short report in their no. 5 issue with a photo showing flamingos. Innovation can be obtained free of charge from Carl Zeiss (For contact information see CLN’s publishers imprint. Please indicate if you prefer the English or German version. By the way: Innovation 5 also contains an editorial on photography by Wolf Wehran and a 6-page article by Martin Schwenk on wildlife photography with the Tele-Apotessar T* 4/600 prototype and Contax 35 mm SLR cameras.)
”FORMAT”, the color magazine of Hasselblad, Germany, is published in German and devotes several pages including the front cover of their spring 1999 edition (Nr. 14) to the TPP. Their TPP images come from the fashion and beauty field and were taken by Arendt Schmolze. FORMAT can be obtained free of charge from Hasselblad Vertriebsgesellschaft D–22902 Ahrensburg.
