The ancient Minolta lenses that I own for the a900 are good enough, and with a bit of post processing, they become better than good enough. After owning the camera for 2 years I am finally figuring out digital photography and the a900. I would like the Nex 7 but I firmly believe that Sony is lazy in developing lenses specific to the system because of all of the other lenses out there. Let's face it, alot of people want Leica glass for the Nex system but Leica glass is way too expensive for most.
They are also a company that is hemorrhaging money, so the R&D cash is not available. I am not sure that Nex specific lenses will be better than what is already out there and Sony realizes this.
Years ago, I read a great quote about photography and the pursuit of new gear, which I will paraphrase. Newer glass won't make a person a better photographer if the photographer has no talent. The old adage of "crap in, crap out" still holds for the most part, but photoshop can now work wonders on crap.
