A77MII invitation for the May 7 Hong Kong event.
I like the new Sony strategy that splits up the product announcements in many pieces. Today a trusted source confirmed the Sony May 7 announcement! I am still not 100% sure if both, the RX100M3 and the A7s pricing will be announced. Looking at the Hong Kong flyer this must be an A7s news too.

Well it was true after all! Indeed Sony announced two new Full Frame E-mount lenses. Well, one is the already pre-announced 28-135mm PZ zoom. But the second is the long time rumored Zeiss 16-35mm f/4.0 FE lens! Release is said to be “mid year”. No price info yet.
