    Three new Sony lenses...

    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.

    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.

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

    Re: Three new Sony lenses...

    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.
