After posting this video on SAR I received an update from a source confirming that Zeiss will be launching a new series of full frame lenses for mirrorless cameras at the Cp+ show. The source has not yet been able to confirm whether this series will also include the L-mount. But I hope to get more information on this soon.

If these lenses are manual focus like the original Otus series for Nikon F/Canon EF, it should not be too much of an effort for Zeiss to make them in a native version for the L-mount.

How2Fly reports that the Lumix S1rII will NOT use the same Leica SL3 sensor. Panasonic seems to have decided on a new sensor with a resolution below 60 MP!

This is a rumor that I have also received in the last few days, but where I was confused and unsure about. The S1rII camera with 60 megapixels, which should have been announced last year, was canceled and the market launch postponed to accommodate the new sensor.

I am working now to get the real final S1rII sensor specs…

I am still trying to get solid information about this camera. If you happen to know more about this use this contact box or contact me via lrumorscameras@gmail.com. Thanks!

Chris Niccolls from PetaPixel posted this Instagram short. I took a screengrab of the camera with the name covered with black tape. Since Panasonic will probably announce a new S1rII on 25 February… do you think this is the camera?

There is no way to tell as it looks exactly like the current S5II…or do you spot any difference?
