Cool info for the A and E mount shooters, or just anyone who wants to know more about the Sony lenses.

There are some good explanations on how the lenses work, focal length, FOV, etc too.

Neat info. What happened to the 500mm AF mirror lens? I didn't see that in the lineup. I thought that was a fairly neat addition to the lineup.

They need more E-mount lenses if the NEX is going to take off. Plus, don't the E-mount lenses work on their new video cameras?

Still, nice lineup.

Sadly I think the 500 was discontinued, which stinks because it was a very unique lens.

There are 6 new E-mounts coming, 3 this year I think.

That's a shame. Was it particularly bad or something? A good mirror lens is nice in certain situations.

Not sure why. It is too bad since it was the only AF mirror lens and it gave good results.
