Six are out, (five and one nearly out,) but of course, they do have other lenses in the lineup that will fit the A7x line with and without adapters. The camera has a mode to run E mount (NEX) lenses without vignetting. One of the available adapters translates autofocus for the A mount lenses to the A7 camera. 6 full frame full frame FE (for A7x series) 6 E mount (apc size NEX) 12 A mount (Konica A Mount) (will autocrop on Sony full frame cameras 24 full frame A mount (K A mount full frame) 2 A mount adapters for E mount cameras http://store.sony.com/full-frame-E-mount-lenses/cat-27-catid-All-Full-Frame-E-Mount-Lenses SonC On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 8:05 AM, Sonny Carter <sonc.hegr at gmail.com> wrote: > Bob, > > I hear your pain about Beta, but it was bettah.
