This lens is apparently being sold again, brand new off the factory line. I thought some time ago it was replaced with the 18-55mm SAM lens, but apparently that isn't true if it's being sold direct from Sony on the Sonystyle webstore, right? Not only that but it's on Amazon too for an even better price (best price tag).

Sony NEX-7 - Announced and Previewed (And Samples!) August 24th 2011, Carl Garrard

(Updated 9-14-2011 Sample Gallery, Updated 9-8-2011 Hands On First Impresssions) Sony NEX-7 24.3 MP Compact Interchangeable Lens Camera with 18-55mm Lens

SONY NEX-7 PREVIEW: Sony goes for the gusto and announces the new NEX-7 interchangeable lens digital camera. By the looks alone you can tell this camera is courted to the more advanced shooter looking for a big sensor compact form interchangeable lens camera/system. It shares the same 24.3mp sensor as the other two Alpha DSLT cameras announced today as well- the A77 and A65 models. The NEX-7 is seemingly equipped with all of the modern goodies that make it a competitive enthusiast camera on the marketplace, and aims squarely at the digital rangefinder styled cameras such as the m4/3 group, Samsung NX, and Pentax Q variety.

Sony's NEX-7 is equipped with a 2.35 million dot OLED EVF w/ extra large viewing area, and it shares this in common with the new Alpha A77 and A65 as well. Obviously Sony wanted to save manufacturing costs by including the same sensor and evf into all of the new advanced models. To date, this is the most detailed and largest of all EVF's ever made by any manufacturer and I can't wait to see what the view looks like.

"Pentax DA 35mm f2.4 AL Lens Review
Introduction- The budget 35mm f2.4 is compact lightweight standard equivalent lens for all Pentax DSLRs (as of the time of this writing). As the name implies, it has a relatively bright max f/2.4 aperture and 50mm equivalent (in 35mm terms) field of view. This lens is for the budget conscious or those who like a good bang for the buck. Pentax denotes that this lens is good for beginners who want better picture quality from a prime lens without having to spend a lot of money to do so. More at www.photographic-central.blogspot.com."

Sony A65 24.3 MP Translucent Mirror Digital SLR With 18-55mm Lens

Lets chat about something nice :).

Dynamic range, resolution, and the edge to edge sharpness I get from full frame lenses. Since the APS-C sensor is in the sweet spot of those lenses, soft corners are practically nil with any FF lens I use. Here's a sample taken with the Sony 50mm f/1.4 "Standard Prime". And the 100% crop.

Sony Alpha A77 Review- The Final Word

November 2011, Carl Garrard Sony A77 24.3 MP Digital SLR with Translucent Mirror Technology - Body Only

Sony Alpha A77 Review: As it turns out, all of  the A77's I used both prior to announcement by Sony and afterwards were final production cameras. At least they were in terms of  image quality (used 1.02 for most of the testing). In total I have used three separate A77's and know this camera quite well as a result. A new firmware upgrade (v1.03) gives a few tweaks to the overall operational performance of the A77 but from what I've seen first hand and gathered, they aren't substantial. Therefore, I offer to you my final review of the A77, as it stands today based on the current firmware version 1.03.

Since I've already completed a couple articles on the A77 (First Impressions and Preview) there's not a whole lot more to go into regarding my final summary. However, a few key topics haven't been discussed which I shall do here, nor has my final conclusion about this camera been reached until now. So lets cover the topics I haven't yet with the two articles above, and get down to the conclusion of Sony's new flagship DSLT (as of today's writing).
