British police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue investigating former Prince Andrew’s alleged offenses linked to Jeffrey Epstein, after the release of U.S. “Epstein Files” under the Transparency Act. Detectives are seeking to interview a woman reportedly taken to a Windsor address in 2010 for sexual purposes and have engaged her legal representative to assure anonymity and proper handling of any report. The inquiry, which follows Prince Andrew’s February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office and prior scrutiny over his friendship with Epstein, also examines claims that he shared confidential documents with Epstein while serving as a UK trade envoy. Officers have searched properties in Berkshire and Norfolk, are speaking with multiple witnesses, and are cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice, emphasizing a thorough, meticulous investigation into all possible lines of enquiry.

News Headlines | Andrew investigation to include sexual misconduct claims

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The police investigation into former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, will be lengthy and complex after his February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office—a charge that can include sexual impropriety. He was questioned for hours following the release of millions of U.S. Department of Justice documents linking him to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a relationship he has consistently denied and for which he has offered no public comment since his arrest. Detectives are probing reports that a woman was taken to a Windsor address in 2010 for a sexual encounter arranged by Epstein, though the woman has not yet reported the offence. The inquiry focuses on the prince’s role as the UK’s special representative for trade and investment from 2001‑2011, with released emails suggesting he may have shared sensitive information with Epstein, while also examining whether his position at the time qualifies as a public office for the purposes of the charge. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright stressed the investigation’s thoroughness, the open invitation for victims to come forward, and the ongoing effort to obtain the original U.S. files, noting that any evidence of separate offences would also be pursued.

This is How the Canon RF100mm Macro Bokeh Control Ring Works

Oliver Wright, a professional macro photographer, shows how the Spherical Aberration Control Ring -- also known as the Bokeh Control Ring -- on the new RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM works in a 5.5-minute video published in conjunction with Canon Europe.

Originally noticed by Fstoppers, this video gives us a closer look at a lens that was announced earlier this week. While the video is very clearly a promotion designed to sell the lens and is part of Canon Europe's marketing endeavors, it does contain some of the first images that have been published using the lens, and the first examples of how the Spherical Aberration Control Ring actually affects images -- Canon USA has yet to provide any images of what photographers can expect out of the lens.

Canon describes the feature as a way to "adjust the look of the bokeh, while applying a flattering soft-focus effect." To demonstrate this, Wright shows the same image taken with different settings on the Spherical Aberration ring and how the image changes:

"As you go to the extremes of the spherical aberration control, you can see the model's hair changing significantly," Wright says.

If you're looking for it, the changes are certainly noticeable. However, use cases for this particular feature will more often likely be for subtle adjustments that take into consideration the photographer's particular tastes in an image and won't be something that will jump out in importance to the average viewer.

This new macro lens effectively replaces the current EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens for the company’s DSLRs and has a brand new optical arrangement, new autofocus motor, and better stabilization features in addition to the new Spherical Aberration Control Ring. Speaking specifically to the 1.4x magnification, Canon says that this lens lets photographers get closer to subjects than expected. However, the company seems to have taken notice of the fact that the original EF version of the lens was particularly popular among portrait photographers, and is marketing this new optic to work well in that application.

The Canon RF100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM is set to go on sale in July for $1,400.
