Haven't seen anything posted here. Includes a new Zeiss 24mm SSM prime.

Glad Sony is making more high end and affordable lenses. I saw a photo with one of the new alpha lenses on the Nex 5 and it looks pretty good.

But no AF yet on the NEX. - TF

Screw motor lenses dont af on the nex with the adapter but ssm and sam lenses do because the motor is inside the lens.

As far as I know, NEX does not AF with any A-mount lens and everyone is still anxiously waiting for the firmware update. Evidently Sony intended to have it working at the intro, but ran into some problems. There were a couple of pre-production review lenses that AFed (not well), but they disabled the AF before the production adapters were released. - Terry

Full frame coverage on all 3? I hope! Anyone know pricing? I think I might have to scoop up that 35.

Show's what I know :) Thanks for correcting me Terry. I hope they will have a firmware that will fix this.

The 35 is a DT. The other two are full frame. - TF

Damn! Thats the one I wanted too. Might still have to get it if its not more than $200, wonder how it will be with distortion, might be a good wide portrait alternative to the 50, def be a cool walkaround. I'm getting real tired of carrying big old zooms. I would like to go all prime some day.
