On Facebook Zeiss explained why the new Batis lenses have that unique OLED screen:

Our new ZEISS Batis lenses feature an OLED display. We decided to integrate it in response to many customer requests that we received after the introduction of previous ZEISS lenses. The display shows the focus distance and depth of field and can be reliably read in poor ambient light or in the dark. By the way, the distance unit can be easily changed from meters to feet.

I would have prefered get a proper aperture ring like you have on the Loxia series. But maybe that OLED screen is really useful once you try it out?

One mroe thing: A couple of new Batis image samples can be found on SonyAlphaForum (Click here).

Both lenses are now available for preorder in USA and Europe (UK/Germany)

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.

Bildschirmfoto 2015-05-06 um 18.33.05

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:

Bildschirmfoto 2015-05-06 um 18.21.21

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).
