Oh, I tried some of the sony mounted optics...I'll be bu''ered if I can tell the difference from one or two on the Contax N mount designs!

Hey ho.....I like chocolate anyway! lol

Maybe you're right, but if they just want to re-introduce older lens designs why not use some of the Minolta optics that are now 'theirs' rather than 'wasting' Zeiss quality on 1.5x crop sensors
