JJ: “Been a long time follower and thought I’d share with you a recent video we published on our channel showcasing how we use the a7s camera with a wireless follow focus unit on our rig. You shared our video last time and got a great response from your readers so I figured this would be another great resource for your readers to see the setup: https://youtu.be/who30zO5Fw0“

FAKE rumor busted: 59MP image from Sakamotu has been shot on the A7II and upsized to 59MP.

Share

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.

Share

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.
