In a breakthrough that seems more science fiction than science fact, researchers at MIT have developed a model that can recover "lost dimensions" in images. Translation: it can recreate video from a motion-blurred photograph, and may some day be able to create a 3D scan from a 2D image.
When you're building the world's largest digital camera, to power one of the world's most impressive telescopes, you're going to need to manufacture one of the world's most incredible lenses.

Sigma is undoubtedly, tantalizingly on fire. Their Art series lenses consistently undercut and outperform the competition, as they proved yet again by manufacturing an 85mm f/1.4 lens that is not only $600 cheaper than Sony's top-of-the-line 85mm GM, but according to DPReview, it's better 'across the board.'
