No, they don't. In all their wisdom, Sony dropped that special niche lens from their line up.

Really? Nooo!!! So much for my mega gap <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



On the serious note, imho the one and only reason why lens is discontinued is sales figures, apparently 500mm reflector wasn't generating enough revenue despite being in a league of it own. 85mm f/2.8 is just too fresh, it might happen that Sony will evaluate sales in a few years time and drop this lens anyway. Or if lens proves to be a runaway success, the likes of Sigma will release some even cheaper alternative. Though I don't believe in the latter (the success part, that is).
