Podcasts about Zeiss

Nachhaltigkeit ist aus den Schlagzeilen gerückt, die Probleme sind geblieben. Im aktuellen Reise vor9 Podcast sprechen wir mit Hochschulprofessor Harald Zeiss darüber, wie Wirtschaftskrise und Klimafolgen die Touristik verändern. Es geht um neue Regeln gegen Greenwashing, die Kluft zwischen nachhaltigem Anspruch und tatsächlicher Buchung, den Umgang mit Overtourism und die Frage, wie sich Reiseangebote an den Klimawandel anpassen müssen.

After a six week break, the Camerosity crew are back with another episode, but unlike most, we decided not to send out invites and instead just got everyone together and hit the record button.  As it turned out, we hit record so fast, we forgot to make an intro! On this, the 113th episode of the Camerosity Podcast, what we lacked in callers we more than made up for in massive amounts of GAS!  Who would have thought that keeping five camera collecting lunatics away from each other for a month and a half and we would get ourselves into so much trouble?! We start the show with a brief summary of what each of us have been up to and Mike dominates this section complaining about being without power for over 10 days in mid August due to a massive storm called a derecho which decimated the area he lives in.  We quickly get to more interesting discussions, recapping recent pickups both through Japanese auctions and more traditional channels including Theo's beautiful new black chrome Leicaflex SL2 and Anthony's "bucket list" Rolleiflex SL66. We get into more obscure cameras too, such as a beautiful French folding rangefinder called the DeMaria-Lapierre Telka III, a late Voigtländer rangefinder called the Vitomatic III CS, and a Honeywell inspired and Zeiss branded camera built in Braunschweig, Germany called the Zeiss-Ikon Contessa S310. There is a ton of GAS in this episode, but you'll just have to listen to the show to know what it is, but in addition to specific camera models, we talk about the differences between Ai and AiS lenses, the merits of aperture priority AE vs shutter priority AE, and even a hearty discussion about our favorite midlevel DSLRs including a comparison between the equally awesome Nikon D300 and D7000. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. We don't yet have a topic for the next episode, but whatever it is, we will record it on Monday, September 21st at 7pm Central Daylight Time, 8pm Eastern Daylight Time, and 6pm Canada Saskatchewan Time.  For more time zones, please consult the World Time Buddy calculator and plug in your time.  Make sure you set your calendars and look out for the show announcement at the usual locations and be prepared to join us!

HTC is now in the AI smart glasses race. Thomas Dexmier, VP of Sales and Marketing at HTC VIVE, came on the Metavertising Podcast to talk about Vive Eagle, the company's first pair. We recorded a few days before they went on sale in Europe.Thomas has been at HTC for more than 15 years. Smartphones, then Vive and VR, now this. He says 2026 feels a lot like 2016, with one big difference. Back then HTC was asking people to step into the technology. This time the technology has to disappear into something people already wear on their face all day.We go through the hardware: 49 grams, Zeiss lenses, a 12MP camera that shoots 3K video, 32GB of storage, 4GB of RAM, four microphones and open-ear speakers. The part I find more interesting is what HTC decided not to do, which is lock you into one AI. Vive AI sits on top as the experience layer, you pick between models like GPT and Gemini, and developers can point the SDK at their own enterprise LLM.Then privacy, which is where every smart glasses conversation ends up right now. The recording LED is enforced in hardware, so covering it up does not get you a secret camera. Sensors know when the glasses come off your face. And if I am recording you and you are not happy about it, you can say "stop recording" out loud and Eagle stops, in English, French, German or Spanish. I had not seen that anywhere else, and it is one of the better answers I have heard to the camera problem.We also talk about why opticians and Silmo Paris matter more to this launch than a shelf in a consumer electronics store, and why Thomas thinks the B2B side may end up bigger than consumer. Underneath all of it sits a question I keep coming back to. The industry has spent 20 years monetising the screen. What happens when the interface is your voice?Vive Eagle went on sale on 3 September and ships from 21 September, starting at 469 euros, or 559 euros with the photochromic Zeiss lenses.In this episode:Why AI smart glasses have to be glasses first and technology secondLaunching VR in 2016 versus launching AI glasses in 2026HTC's case for letting you choose your own AI modelSDK access, enterprise LLMs and the B2B use cases HTC is already seeingHardware enforced privacy and the "stop recording" commandOpticians, telcos and Silmo Paris: selling glasses, not gadgetsFrames, colours and the three Zeiss lens configurationsWhether smart glasses really are the computing platform after the smartphoneFollow Metavertising for conversations with the people building immersive tech and smart glasses.Connect with Thomas DexmierConnect with Ely SantosDetails on the HTC VIVE Eagle: https://www.vive.comAI smart glasses, HTC Vive Eagle, HTC VIVE, smart glasses privacy, Thomas Dexmier, Vive AI, Zeiss smart glasses, AI glasses Europe, GPT glasses, Gemini glasses, wearable AI, spatial computing, XR, enterprise smart glasses, smart glasses launch 2026, Metavertising

Wenn wir an Streiks und Gewerkschaften in der Metall- und Elektroindustrie denken, haben wir oft ein klassisches Bild vor Augen: das Fließband, die Werkshalle, den traditionellen Autobauer. Doch die Arbeitswelt wandelt sich – und mit ihr auch der Arbeitskampf. Zu sehen war das unlängst im beschaulichen Roßdorf südlich von Darmstadt. Dort standen Menschen mit IG-Metall-Fahnen und roten Westen auf der Straße, die beispielsweise promovierte Chemiker sind, die Software entwickeln und Hochtechnologie-Lösungen für die globale Halbleiterindustrie entwickeln. Sie arbeiten für Zeiss SMT, eine Sparte des Optik-Konzerns, die vom gegenwärtigen KI-Boom profitiert. Und trotzdem – oder gerade deshalb? – knirscht es dort gewaltig. Die Belegschaft fordert einen Tarifvertrag und die 35-Stunden-Woche. Wir erzählen, was dahintersteckt. Was passiert, wenn Start-up-Kultur auf Konzernstrukturen trifft und warum dieser lokale Konflikt symptomatisch für die aktuelle Debatte um Arbeitszeiten in Deutschland ist.

Twenty-six video production company owners turned up to a webinar about finding clients with AI. When every attendee got a personal follow-up email asking for their key takeaway, four replied. This episode is about the silence from the rest.If you run a video production business and keep telling yourself you'll fix it later, this one is aimed at you. Den unpacks what that silence really signals (not disinterest, fear), and tells the story of the January his own camera package, close to $60K of Sony F5 and Zeiss glass, sat in a corner gathering dust while he lay awake over cash flow. A mentor made him sell it. That was the turning point.What you'll learn:Why "I'll do it later" just means delaying success, and what it costs you nowThe gear trap: why the camera was never going to win you the workWhat 26 attendees and four replies reveal about fear in the video production industryWhy mass-market gurus leave you feeling behind, and why judgment from inside your niche beats inspiration from outside itWho the Elite Boardroom is for, and who fits Ascend, in plain termsDen has spent three decades in production, around a decade of it running his own production company, and has personally worked with 178+ video production business owners who have generated more than $52M in additional revenue.If you're at $200K a year or above, or ten-plus years in business, go to denlennie.com/mentoring and make an application for the Elite Boardroom.Learn about the VBA Elite Boardroom here: https://denlennie.com/mentoringMentoring options : www.denlennie.comConnect with Den on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/den_lennie

Whenever you get a bunch of camera collectors together to talk about rangefinders and SLRs, the focus of the conversation almost always centers around those models with interchangeable lenses.  Thread mount Leicas, Contax rangefinders, Nikon F-series and Zeiss-Ikon Contarexes almost always dominate the discussion.  While certainly worthwhile cameras to talk about, lens swappable cameras overshadow their fixed lens counter parts, and for Episode 112, the Camerosity crew decided to take a deep dive into those rangefinder and SLR models where the lens can't be removed. Joining Anthony, Paul, Stephen, Theo and Mike are regular and first time callers A.J. Gentile, Aaron in Idaho, Basile from Montreal, Ben Ryerson, Fernando Villava, Greg Harp, Howard Sandler, Marty Olsen, Ron Gee, Sarah Davis, Vlad Kern, and Wayne Scheipers. We start off the episode asking if anyone who listened to Episode 111 was inspired to buy anything from a Japanese auction, but then we hand over the virtual mic to Vlad Kern who had a crazy eBay story regarding an extremely rare Smena camera he ended up selling, buying back, and then having to sell a second time.  In addition, we were joined by Sarah Davis who came back on to check in with how her repair business has been going.  Since her first appearance on the show in Episode 108, several Camerosity listeners have reported being very happy with her repair services. When we finally got on topic, we shared our love for a large number of mostly fixed lens rangefinders including the Minolta Hi-Matic 7, Yashica Electro series, the Mamiya Super Deluxe, Konica III, and even though we primarily stayed with 35mm cameras, we discussed Fuji's lineup of excellent 6x4.5, 6x7, and 6x9 rangefinders including the popular "Texas Leica".  In addition to covering GAS, Anthony asked the question if any fixed lens rangefinders ever had telephoto lenses, and Mike gave a quick lesson on what exactly the Yashia Electro's "Pad of Death" is and what it sounds like. For fixed lens SLRs, we covered models by Mamiya, Zeiss-Ikon, Nikon, Canon, and a few others.  Mike shared one of his favorites, the strange Fujica ST-F with the Ihagee Exa style shutter and in body flash. It wouldn't be a Camerosity show if we didn't get off topic, and our listeners were quick to ask questions about adapting Soviet lenses, what the difference is between an Industar and a Jupiter, whether or not Zeiss lenses for Contax SLRs are better than Yashica lenses, and whether the Vectis APS SLR was responsible for Minolta going out of business. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining!

We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. We don't yet have a topic for the next episode, but rest assured whatever it is, it will likely involve a bunch of adults irresponsibly spending their money on half century or older cameras!  When we know what we plan on talking about, we will be sure to update you through the usual channels, but we will record Episode 113 on Monday, August 10th at 7pm Central Daylight Time, 8pm Eastern Daylight Time, and 6pm Canada Saskatchewan Time.  For more time zones, please consult the World Time Buddy calculator and plug in your time.  Make sure you set your calendars and look out for the show announcement at the usual locations and be prepared to join us!

Most founders set out to build something that matters: a company that's aligned with their mission, now and forever. But what if the very systems we use to build ‘real' companies are the thing that corrupts them?In this episode, Yaniv Bernstein is joined by Silicon Valley legend Eric Ries author of the era-defining 'The Lean Startup', founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, and now the author of a provocative new book, 'Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great'.Eric makes the case that corruption is a structural problem, rather than a failing of the people themselves. He walks Yaniv through the ‘financial gravity' that pulls good companies away from their founders' purpose, and the governance ‘fortresses' that a small handful of outlier companies (from Costco to Novo Nordisk to Anthropic) have used to stay great.In this episode, you will:Understand ‘financial gravity' - the force that degrades values, corrupts economic decisions, and reduces long-term outcomesLearn the legend of Sol Price (the father of modern retail behind Costco), and why treating margins as a liability rather than a virtue can be a source of enduring strengthExplore the ‘industrial foundation' model behind century-old giants like Novo Nordisk and Zeiss, and why companies with this structure are roughly 6x more likely to survive to year 50Hear how Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust shaped its trajectory, and why in the age of AI, trustworthiness is the single most valuable corporate assetTimestamps00:00 Coming Up...01:06 On Today's Show: Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup and Incorruptible02:41 From 'The Lean Startup' to 'Incorruptible': Why Governance Matters04:13 The Two Mysteries05:45 Case Study: Sol Price and FedMart08:58 The Shareholder Primacy Trap14:04 Costco's Governance Fortress16:50 Founder Control vs VCs19:33 Why Markets Punish Your Mission21:30 Novo Nordisk's Foundation Model26:35 Anthropic and AI Trust29:37 Governance in Action Today31:54 Doing the Right Thing33:27 Goodhart's Law and Customer Service Metrics38:36 Why 'Harder Is Easier'39:02 Costco's Hotdog Promise41:55 Mission Lock Structures43:32 Pitching Investors, Leverage and the Fundraising Decision Tree49:33 HBO's Silicon Valley and 'Minimum Viable Product'53:57 Closing Thoughts & Book PlugResources mentioned in this episode'Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great' by Eric Ries: https://www.incorruptible.co/'The Lean Startup' by Eric Ries: https://theleanstartup.com/bookLong-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE): https://ltse.com/'Skin in the Game' by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: https://www.amazon.com/Skin-Game-Hidden-Asymmetries-Daily/dp/0425284646Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs: https://costplusdrugs.com/The PactHonor the Startup Podcast Pact!
