The Zeiss 24-70 feels like milled from one block of glass, but I liked it very much. [/quote]
Not saying the Canon 24-70 has the cleanest reputation but that 24-70 Sony lens has quite a bit of issues with dust. Do a bit of googling and you'll come across interesting links.

The Sony 35/1.4G is quite a bit more compact than its Canon and Nikon counterparts, but looks a bit outdated without SSM.

The problem with that lens is not the lack of SSM. The lens never really comes in to good focus because of all the aberrations. You'd be able to verify this easily if you use live view on the a900... oh wait! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
