You may have noticed that I posted many lens and QX rumors and little about cameras. But I actually did (and  I am still doing) a lot of “behind the scene” camera rumor work! The reason why I have been quiet the last weeks is because I got major news with some surprises and I wanted to spill out the rumors only when I was sure about the rumors I got. I am now very close to get some final answers and I ask you just a bit of patience.

All I can tell for now is that Photokina is not the place for these “BIG” Sony surprises. But I have damn good news: You will not have to wait a long time after Photokina either…

Message to all sources: Thanks for all the rumors you sent me the last weeks about Sony cameras, prototypes and long-term strategy. I will post your rumors as soon as I have double checked them with my trusted sources :)

UPDATE: The lens can be preorderd at BHphoto in the Nikon mount (Click here) and Canon mount (Click here) version.

This is going to be a hot lens for all E-mount camera owners. Hot and $4,490 expensive I should add :) And we learned that Zeiss will announce it within a few hours at 14:00 (2pm) London time. That’s:
6am in San Francisco
9am in NYC
15:00 in Berlin
22:00 in Tokyo

First preorders will be online at exactly that time!

One of our very good Zeiss sources (Many thanks man!) just told us that the new Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 will be announced tomorrow (September 8). And it will cost 500 Euro more than the current [shoplink 28693 ebay]Zeiss Otus 55mm lens (around 3445 Euro here on eBay)[/shoplink]. UPDATE: I have been told US price is $4,490.00!

The price is justified by the fact that the new 85mm Otus is really “much better” than the current 55mm Otus!

Current E-mount camera owners with plenty of $$$ on their bank account could be tempted to buy that. Otherwise wait for cheaper and still amazing good 85mm FE lens that is likely to come next year :)
