The next lens coming from Sony could be the new 85mm f/1.8 fast tele prime lens. There is no info yet about the price but as we heard this lens should come within 1-2 months. And Sony may be not the only one announcing a new lens for a mirrorless system. Also Olympus could announce a new lens soon. But it is defintiely not the 40-150mm f/2.8 lens. That rumor got busted!
P.S.: Just a reminder, the three Zeiss primes for the NEX and Fuji X system should arrive in April!

O L Y M P U S pls:
12-… in a very SMALL size (e.g. 16-50mm from Sony)
THANKS!!
Why:
****
It makes m4/3 to a “compact” camera with a hughe quality!!!
12-… because it makes sense to the 14-150 lens.=> with 2 lenses 90% of the motives would be possible to shoot & carry the 14-150 lenses in the JACKET is easy possible. the 12-… on the m4/3 camera on the other jacket pocket also !!! 😉
the 8mm & the panasonic 14-42mm lenses are NO opportunity !
-> watch at Sony!… they are now the nr. 1 but you got the better size/quality baggage – use it !!! And soon you will be very close to the nr 1 position.
NEX 85mm F1.8? Nice, wonder what the cost would be – $600 or so with OSS would be good.
NEX-6 plus 10-18 / 35 1.8 / 85 1.8 would be a great set up.
Shame I just bought an E-M5 haha
I’d buy an 85mm 1.8 for NEX in a heartbeat. Likely either a Zeiss at $1000 or a Sony with OSS at $450. I’d prefer the Zeiss, but the quality of the Sony 50 OSS is still more than adequate.
