I've been in B&H;'s preorder list since 1/4/13 and still has no news. Heard the rumor that Sony is NOT going to sell this bundle in the United States. (They took out 5RL from their official website completely).

Talked to Sony Customer Service yesterday, and they mentioned that the lens will be available by the end of the month (around the 20th), so that the bundle may be available around the same time. However they could not confirm this.

B&H; Photo lists the availability of this product as January 23. However, Sony's site lists availability of the 16-50mm lens as February 20. The lens is already available with the NEX-6, so it may be available with the NEX-5R before it's ready or sale by itself.

I'm going to suggest a different question. Do you really want a newer version? I recently bought a used 300mm F4 for 950. Its sells new for around 1300. This lens has been due for replacement for quite some time. So i had to ask myself the same question you have, when will a replacement come out, because it is certainly overdue. Problem is, when it does come out, it will be of lesser build quality, it will remove the aperature ring(G lens), add VR, and cost well over 2000. While I would like the VR on this lens, is it worth the huge proce difference, and the reduced build quality. I also used the same logic on a 17-35 i just bought. So what I would suggest, is to judge the current lens on its merits. The only gripe I would have with this lens is that it is AF and not AF-s. It will be much cheaper than a new one, probably much better build quality, and who knows when a replacement might arrive.

I spoke with a local photography shop today, and they said the ship date was 5/1, which mean that they would have in stock a few days later. I also called Adorama and spoke with a sales representative who quoted me the 5/1 date. So all of the press has said April availability, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the US. I'm going to call B&H; tomorrow, just to be sure, but otherwise it looks like we will all be sitting back and waiting another month.

So I assume you're talking about the SELP1650 lens... In that case the zoom should work fine off the power zoom lever... Stabilization is internal to the nex-vg30 so that should work fine as well.

I don't have any idea, because the TG-3 is not yet available for sale - it comes out on June 23, I think. I'm sure hoping it does, because I have come to rely on the fisheye lens a great deal. Let's hope Olympus does the right thing and keeps the lens housing the same diameter as the TG-2, which I do own and enjoy great success with.

Your NEX 5R is e-mount, you won't be able to use this particular lens unless you have the C-mount adapter. What the seller is calling the "e-mount" version seems to be the same lens with the c-mount to e-mount adapter mounted to it permanently. If you don't expect to buy another c-mount lens and/or you don't like thread mounts, then the e-mount version is probably worth the extra cost. If you want to reuse the mount or thread mounts don't bother you, then you will probably do better with the version that comes with the adapter.

The L indicates it comes with the newer 16-50 power zoom lens rather than the older style 18-55 lens. I am not sure if the letter was chosen at random or not.

Did you ever get a lens? I'm making the same decision now. If so, what did you buy? Are you happy with your decision? Is there anything else you would add that would help me make a decision. Thanks!

Usually the Nex 5 camera comes with 18/55 lens, ideal for closer and landscape pictures.The 55/210 is the ideal complement for 18/55 lens, and gives you take long distance pictures with good zoom.The 55/210 is built for Nex cams, and is also the option to get a zoom lens for Nex Cams, with auto focus and stabilization.The other option is the 18/200, but you will have a big and heavy lens for in door and out door, and no auto focus and stabilization.So in my opinion, the 55/210 is the best available option.

The camera comes with an E18-55mm, which is good for all regular photography. A brochure comes with the camera, which shows everything you need to know about interchangeable lenses. I do a lot of long range shooting, so I recently purchased the Sony (NEX 55-210) zoom lens. Make sure you stress E-Mount on any lenses. It's a great camera and works well with both of my lenses. Also, you may want to check out the Sony or Amazon Websites for pictures and details. Regards, Paul

Yes when? I waiting for this 28 days and nothing. So what next?. I check B&H; and they have in stock but with 55-200mm lens kit so I think we have to wait.

I would go for the middle (B) range and not even interchangeable lens if not worthed. So: apart from price, loving fidelity in colours and proportions (I hate "postcard" photos), and speed, what between:Sony Nex 5NsOlympus E-PM1Panasonic GF3 (if better than G3, otherwise please tell me)?Any non interchangeble lens as worthed as those? (Olympus XZ-1?)Eventually, thanks a loT

Congrats on the nice lens! I have the 17-85. It's better than my 18-55, but I would love to get the 17-55 someday. Heck, I'd like to get a lot of different lenses someday! But being completely new to dslr, I think what I have now will suffice until I get going.

I would just love some sort of estimated date. Just be up front with us, even if it is a month off. I ordered the black 12-50mm kit. The sad part is, I see so many people getting them from local dealers. The ONLY reason I ordered from Amazon is because I had a really good gift card balance. If I could cash out my amazon gift card balance and go to a local dealer I sure as heck would in a heart beat~
