French student loses hand in Lens as school protests escalate

A 15-year-old boy lost his hand during clashes between police and student protesters in Lens, France, on Monday. The incident occurred amid nationwide demonstrations over poor school conditions and staffing, with approximately 500 schools closed. While authorities confirmed the injury, conflicting accounts emerged regarding whether the student picked up a police grenade. The government has launched an investigation, and unions have called for a national day of protest on Tuesday.

Sigma’s Tiny Workhorse: A Bright, Versatile 20–60mm Zoom for Travel and Video

Sigma’s 20-60mm f/2.8-4 DG Contemporary is a compact, lightweight zoom that covers 20–60mm with a bright f/2.8 at the wide end and strong sharpness across the range. It delivers excellent flare resistance, solid close-up performance, and a fast internal focus motor, making it a strong one-lens option for travel, gimbal work, or vlogging. Drawbacks include harsh bokeh, average sunstars, lack of built-in controls (no AF/MF switch), and some minor LoCA at the 20mm end. Priced at $849, it competes well against Sony’s and Panasonic’s equivalents, offering more light and comparable or better optics for a lighter, more portable setup.”}{

Accessible via Alt+Space on Windows 10 or newer, the app lets you search the web, local files, and Google Drive with views like All, Images, and AI Mode, and it supports Google Lens or screen sharing; a macOS/Linux version isn’t confirmed, though a Gemini app for macOS is reportedly in testing.

Nikon’s Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II Promises Lighter, Faster, Sharper Performance

Nikon introduced the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II, claiming it’s the lightest in its class (998g without the collar, 1180g with), about 26% lighter than the first-gen version, and notable for faster autofocus and improved optical performance. The lens uses 18 elements in 16 groups with multiple special elements, anti-reflection coatings (Meso Amorphous Coat and ARNEO), and a new Silky Swift VCM motor that Nikon says zooms and focuses roughly 3.5x and 40% faster overall. It features six stops of VR, internal zoom, an adjustable control ring, Arca-Swiss collar, and compatibility with 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters, with availability in late March 2026 at $3,199.95.
