This still doesn't change the fact that Sony-designed lenses are rare.
Sourcing the glass or production from other manufacturers is nothing new. e.g. Zeiss is using shot glass and the lenses are made by Cosina (or Sony) - we all know that. Yet we are still talking about Zeiss-designed lenses.
Canon and Nikon have some own glass manufacturing although I doubt that they are making all of it. Hoya is just around the corner after all.
