Zeiss will launch a new Full Frame lens series for mirrorless system cameras

 

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.

Surprise: Lumix S1rII will NOT use the same Leica SL3 sensor?

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!
