If you want an affordable T/S for A-mount (or any other), and can live with 35mm/2.8, run and get the one from Arax.
Their (and some others') custom lenses are based on Nikon-mount originals made by Arsenal in Kiev, Ukraine. The historical Arsenal company went out of bussiness recently, but Arax managed to buy parts that will suffice for some time. But it won't be long before they run out. Unfortunately...

hi olegk - thanks for this -
yes that lens appears to cost about $700 to be sent down here - i'd have to look at some results from it, or a test - the only pictures i've seen from it are of selective focus (you can do that in post), ie. the opposite of what i'd use it for - i'd want increased depth with good rez (ahem, you can do it in post? - not really) -
