In an unlucky coincidence, yet another sports photographer's Sony 400mm f/2.8 GM lens has been struck by a baseball.
, a photographer at a Chinese Professional Baseball League game was the unfortunate target of a foul ball down the first base line. The photographer, stationed just behind the dugout, had the hard-hit ball rattle around the front of his lens.
Thanks to the lens hood taking the brunt of the baseball’s force, the photographer seems to have escaped with nothing but a frightening encounter and a great story. After flying off the bat, the ball spins around the inside of the lens hood — like a basketball that circles the rim — and shoots out to the side.wonders if the lens’s front element received a scratch during the ordeal — it is impossible to tell based on the video.. While a damaged front element does not cost $12,000 to fix, it is far from cheap.
Photographer Jim Rassol, who was shooting a Major League Baseball game when his lens was shattered by a foul ball last month, received an , which agreed to fix the lens at a discounted rate using the funds that were raised for Rassol by a GoFundMe started by fellow photojournalists and Rassol’s friends.

Gravitational Waves Can Be Gravitationally Lensed, and This Could Provide Another Way to Measure the Expansion of the UniverseAstronomers can never have enough ways to measure the expansion in the Universe, from nearby stars to distant quasars. A new study suggests another method might come from the growing catalog of gravitational waves detected by LIGO and other observatories. As two black holes merge in a distant galaxy, the gravitational waves could pass close to a massive cluster that would create a gravitational lens. Some of the waves would take different paths around the gravitational lens, allowing astronomers to measure the expansion rate of the Universe. Gravitationally lensed gravitational waves.
