Sony knows all about quality lenses I had 30 years of working with Sony broadcast top-quality video cameras all pin sharp and the latter ones had autofocus that never lost focus. I now have 5 Sony lenses with my Sony A1 and they can not be faulted in terms of sharpness, image quality, and spot-on autofocus. The A1 also does very good x4K video and first class steady handheld shots.
There is no question about SONY`s expertise with the digital imaging industry, after all, they made the first true Digital cine camera in conjunction with Industrial Light & Magic - PANAVISION - with SONY manufacturing the camera that was used to film the entire " Return of the Jedi ".
I have seen that camera overhere with an ANGENIEUX zoom on it,...begs the question...after their take-over of KONICA-MINOLTA, who makes SONY lenses ..the answer is not clear to me, as with the Pro-camera`s lenses of different manufacture are mounted, PANAVISION .. ANGENIEUX..and I have even seen a COOKE lens mounted. ( Expensive Buggers them are, 22000 pounds for a prime lens...makes even SCHNEIDER glass look cheap ).
But on the semi-pro ones do I see SONY engraved,some ZEISS , so who makes those then, do you know ?
