Using the capabilities of the next generation of Nikon’s Z Mount, the lens sports a larger diameter and “delivers superior optical performance and maximizes the potential of high pixel-count digital cameras,” claims Nikon. Also, the 14-30mm’s focal length could prove to be popular among landscape, travel, event and architecture photographers.
Design-wise, the lens features a practically flat front lens element. This makes it the world’s first filter-attachable ultra-wide-angle zoom lens covering a focal length from 14 mm.
“The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm lens demonstrates the optical superiority of the Z system. Taking advantage of the newest high-performance lens technologies while maximizing compactness and portability,” said Jay Vannatter, Executive Vice President, Nikon Inc. “The Nikon Z series is a powerful capable camera system for all types of video production …”
Changeable filters
Creators will be able to attach various types of screw-on filters to the front of the lens. This opens up a lot of options for videographers and landscape and city photographers who want to use different filters.
Portability
When it’s retracted, the 14-30mm f/4 S is 3.5-inches and weighs 485 g (1.07lbs). It’s about 28.6% lighter and 32% shorter than the popular AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR. It’s also about 51.5% lighter and 35% shorter than the AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED for the F mount.
Design
The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S has a customizable control ring that can be assigned to manual focusing, exposure compensation or aperture control while maintaining different custom settings when in photo or video mode. The control ring has “speedy and near-silent” stepping motor tech and the lens reduces focus breathing, according to Nikon.
Additionally, the lens is fully compatible with the in-body 5-axis VR on the Nikon Z 6 and Z 7 and provides up to 5 stops of image stabilization without adding to the overall weight or size.
Pricing and Availability
The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S lens will be out this spring for $1,299.
Nikon also introduced the Nikon Z 6 Filmmaker’s Kit, which will be out later this month. The Kit will include:
The Z 6 Filmmaker’s Kit is priced at $3,999.

This is a dataset generator given a list of fonts and characters.You can use it to generate any number of characters with any number of features.
One of the advantages for this tool is that you can generate datasets for Unicode characters. I personally don't have a license for a lot of fonts (and I don't know the alphabets), but if you donate it -- I will place it in this repository with your name on it
Prerequisites
- ImageMagick
- Python 2.7+
- numpy
- scipy
- pickle
How to use the data
The data is stored in a pickle file. The data is stored in a single dict with keys 'labels' and 'images'
Note that 'labels' are actual characters, and not just digits
To use it in Python:
How to generate the data
The simplest way to use it
That will use all the fonts that are installed on your machine, the image size would be 28x28, and the output filder would be ./28x28/. The default alphabet is alphanumeric [a-zA-Z0-9].
You can also use arguments (in alphabetical order):

This is a small dataset, as I don't have a lot of fonts. I just wanted to show how the tool would work with Unicode.
The data was generated using:
-wwas used to specify the size of the images to generate.-dspecifies the directory to place tesults to-afspecifies that there is an alphabet file that should be used-ffshows where is the font file -- a file where we list all the fonts

This one is more of a 'MNIST'-style with only numeric values generated on all of the fonts that you have. Granted it is not handwritten, but I guess you can still use it :)
In here we also used -ef to specify the font exclusion list. This list specifies which fonts are not supposed to be used.
