Sony Offers Clutch of Fast Prime Lenses

Following the fashion towards fast prime glass, Sony has announced a trio of new Alpha lenses: a 24mm ?2, 35mm ?1.8 and an 85mm ?2.8. All of these (apart from the $1,250 24mm) are bargains, showing just how much simpler is a fixed focal-length design than a zoom.
The 24mm is pricier for a reason. It is a Carl Zeiss Distagon T* (or Tessar) objective, for both full-frame and crop-frame cameras (where it will act as a 35mm, more or less). The 35mm is designed to work on the smaller APS-C sensor cameras, and will vignette if used on a full-framer, and the 85mm will work on both sizes.
All these lenses will fit on the new mirrorless NEX cameras with an adapter, but you?ll need to focus manually. The lenses can be had for $1,250 (24mm) $250 (85mm) and $200 (35mm), and will be on sale in September (October for the 35mm).
