Klaus, I think you were a bit hard on the 50/1.8 in rating. Was it the viginetting? The Sony 50/1.4 A-mount gets more stars despite being IMHO an inferior lens.

The 50/1.4 (in the A700 test) touches the LW/PH maximum, the OSS does just make it across the excellent barrier.The f/1.4 has also better corners at f/2 and f/2.8. Plus less vignetting.
So where is it an inferior lens ?Remember that you can't just compare the numbers. It is viable to take the graphs (ignoring the scale) for comparison.
It is a bit of a theoretical discussion anyway. The A700 sensor and register distance is simply much easier to handle from a lens perspective.I reckon hat the OSS would be a 3.5 pts lens on the NEX 5n.
