A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by the folks at Nokia USA and asked if I would check out their new Lumia 1020 phone<\/a>. \u00a041 megapixels? In your pocket? \u00a0I was like, “Absolutely!”. \u00a0After shooting with it for a bit, I have to say I really enjoyed much of the experience (haven’t gotten to use it as a “phone” per se, as Its an AT&T plan while i’m on Verizon).<\/p>\n

I was then asked if I would be interested in heading out to Oberkochen, Germany to check out some more stuff with the phone, and speak to some of the folks at Carl Zeiss, AG.<\/p>\n

Wait. \u00a0Carl Zeiss? The folks that make the sharpest lenses for -any- camera. \u00a0Hands down. \u00a0THAT<\/em> Carl Zeiss?<\/p>\n

As a camera nerd.. you can see the excitement brewing here.<\/p>\n

So… tomorrow morning I shove off to Stuttgart, Germany to go meet up with the crew. \u00a0Originally scheduled to come back on Wednesday, I extended my trip by a few days to head out to one of my most favorite cities in the world – Prague in the Czech Republic. \u00a0I’ll be heading down to Prague from Stuttgart from Wed to Sat. \u00a0Then driving back to Stuttgart and flying home next Sunday.<\/p>\n

Germany has always had a soft spot in my heart ever since I lived there several years ago (used to live in the east – Jena, specifically when I worked for Intershop<\/a>\u00a0. Man I wish I were headed out to the Zeiss offices in Jena as well). \u00a0Getting back there puts a big smile on my face.<\/p>\n

If anyone in Germany or Prague want to hang out whilst out there, hit me up.. happy to try to make it work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by the folks at Nokia USA and asked if I…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10,3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4172","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-blog","7":"category-photography","8":"cs-entry"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4172"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4172"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4174,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4172\/revisions\/4174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
