FAKE rumor busted: 59MP image from Sakamotu has been shot on the A7II and upsized to 59MP.
Plenty of rumor sites just posted a link to that image on Flickr from Sakamoto Mayu. They claim this could be another A7rII image. As you know EXIF and TXT data can easily be faked. But somewhat fakers forget that there are other parameters in EXIF file and they forget to change them
The EXIF file from Sakamto Mayu shows the following small detail:
That’s the resolution fo the current A7II !!! Just try to read your A7II Exif info and you will see the focal plane resolution matches.
And the A7r resolution would be
Focal Plane X Resolution : 2049.067291
Focal Plane Y Resolution : 2049.067291
So this is a upsized image guys
Unlike the Sakamotu image the Zeiss image has no such focal plane resolution image. So that is still somewhat strange (a part of the fact that’s weird Zeiss uploaded a 59MP image).

Sony wanted to make a 85mm f/1.2 Zeiss. Was too big.
The same source who shared the correct Zeiss Batis lens specs back in January also told me that Sony had a Zeiss 85mm f/1.2 lens prototype. Sony decided to not launch it because it was way to big to be used on the FE cameras.
Zeiss made once such a lens for the Contax system. The Zeiss Planar 85mm 1.2 which now sells for more than $3,000 used on eBay (Click here). Just to say that the lens would not only have been big…but also rather expensive.

(SR5) New Sony teaser for a product announcement on May 15!
The broken mirror teaser
Sony X Australia posted that teaser for a special event scheduled on May 15 (date info shared by a source). There is yet no other info a part of the text saying “stay tuned”. The broken mirror image could refer to a new mirrorless camera launch (rumored to be the A7rII and/or the A6100). But so far there is no 100% guarantee yet this is for the A7rII launch.
But this would fit with previous (SR3) rumors I got about a mid-May announcement. The new A7x and A6xxx camera May-June launch timeframe also got leaked on that Wikileaks document.
So far the A7rII will get the 5 axis IBIS and A7II body form. Not 100% clear if the A7rII will get the same 26MP sensor as the first model or an updated new 59MP sensor (See Zeiss leak). The A6100 will retain the current 24MP sensor and get XAVC-S recording.
Reminder:
Sony FE 28mm for the first time in Stock today at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, FocusCamera, Sony US.
