Ted Forbes:
I recently had my Sony NEX 7 modified as a full-spectrum camera. Essentially this means the sensor will recognize the visual spectrum in addition to Ultra-violet and Infrared light. By using various filters on the lens, you can achieve some interesting results by limiting the light spectrum for both photography and video.

Our highly reliable Sony sensor informant told us this:
Just got word of a new 72MP FF global shutter sensor from Sony, 3.45um pixel architecture (FF version of IMX342). Of course it’s more geared towards industrial use with mediocre image quality. It could be a result of competition from Canon and ON Semi that they all taped out FF GS sensors.
As measured by Lucid Vision Labs it seems like Global Shutters are still not a match for current Sony rolling shutter sensors.
Mirrorlessrumors reports about the acquisition of the Meyer Optik Görlitz brand by German company OPC Optic. OPC said that they will make new lenses under the Meyer Optik Görlitz brand name. But they also said this:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to take over the net SE contaminated sites
The takeover by OPC Optics includes all brand rights to Meyer Optik Görlitz and the associated products. Open claims from customers and suppliers towards net SE remain with net SE. Thus, vendors would have to contact the administrator of the net SE regarding these matters. OPC Optics, as a supplier of high-precision aspheres, is itself one of the suppliers of the net SE who still have outstanding demands on them.
As part of the reorientation of the brand, OPC Optics is examining whether discounts on the acquisition of an available lens can be realized for customers of net SE who have paid for and have not received a lens. Upon request, customers would then receive an individual offer. When or if such a model can be offered, is currently not fixed.
Shit :(
