According to photorumors.com “First we will see APS-C mirrorless lenses for Sony NEX and Samsung NX. Tamron is designing 2 compact zoom and one macro:
* Compact standard zoom: 24-50mm f/3.5-5.6 VR
* Compact telezoom: 75-200mm f/4.5-6.3 VR
* Macro: 90mm f/3.5 VR”
We can’t confirm the rumor now.

But, will they be shiny and purty like a Sony lens?
Seriously that’s good news though… I suspect there will be A LOT OF lenses made for this camera.
There have been a number of comments on other forums that these lenses are slow aperature but probably necessary in order to keep the lenses as small as possible. Other question the sense of a normal zoom covering only effective 36-75mm range? The 90mm Macro f2.8 seems unusual for very compact camera. Are we sure these aren’t effective 35mm focal lengths and not reall FL?
They would be kit zoom lenses, necessary for low end mirrorless and a good market.
I wish they would start with the lens that is truly missing+necessary. A 30mm pancake.
Maybe Sigma should be working on this. Sigma has a great reputation for making bokehlicious glass.
