Sony's strategy has always been affordable bodies, stupid pricing on lenses. 

 

For example, their 70-300 costs $900 and is only comparable in quality to the $500 area offerings and not remotely in the same class as the 70-300L...

 

Their 50/1.4 is better than the competition, but not much better than the 50L and is slightly slower. 

 

Their 70-200 is $3,000 and can't compete with canon's, which can be had for $1,800 new right now...

 

 

Ah, the 70-300G is almost as good as the 70-300L - and the latter is substantially more expensive.

Technically, the 50L is not a really great lens.

 

The 70-200/2.8G is over-priced, yes.
