The A-Mount 50mm Zeiss is still "under development".
If I remember correctly the 500/4 was "under development" roughly 4 years before they finally released it last year...
Hope that they get it done this year.
I'm not a fan of pancakes at all, but I guess the 20mm will probably do better than the bad 16mm. Nice to have for somebody desiring an "as-tiny-as-possible" camera/lens combination.
Regarding the 18-200PZ I have mixed emotions.
I had a chance at Photokina to play with it on a VG30 cc and found the PZ working very smooth for video. Although I find it personally annyoing slow, and you need to switch between manual and PZ mode - meaning you use either or.
The PZ mechanism makes it (again personal taste) quite chunky compared to the aesthetic NEX body.
Finally the price indication - 1.200,-€. What the F... is Sony thinking?
Considering the medium IQ and the flaws of an 11x zoom the price seems being quite nasty.
