Well, that lens is the A-mount version, released since a few time. I'm referring to the FE-mount version, which is missing.

And the A7 series is a small, compact mirrorless design, clearly not designed with long, heavy lenses in mind.
Well, I don't think so. All the competitors offer long lenses, both MFT (already) and Fuji (announced); note that I'm not necessarily referring to light and small lenses, since I think it has been reasonably debated that mirrorless/APS-C doesn't give any particular advantage in this area. In fact I'm referring to FE mount, that Sony has declared it wants to develop. FE-mount is aimed to become a complete system (and I don't think how it could be successful if it wasn't a complete system), thus it can't miss any kind of lens. I don't think that requiring an adapter to A-mount (which is legacy, even though supported) makes sense beyond being a temporary workaround.
