Sony Pro Lenses 24-70, 70-200, and 85mm

/

The argument that sony doesn't offer enough professional lenses for their full frame mirrorless system just vanished into thin air with the HUGE announcement of three seriously professional lenses (with serious professional prices to match).  These lenses are compatible with the Sony a7 series of cameras and the a6000 crop series cameras including the newly announced a6300.Sony FE GM Lenses

Two Teleconverters for FE lenses 1.4x and 2.0x

I expect these lenses to be sharp and extremely well built.   Along with the 85mm f/1.4 and the additional lens offerings like the Batis series Sony now has the lenses and the bodies to really start attracting professionals in numbers that should scare the pants of Canon and Nikon.  I am not saying this is all a perfect system - see my discussion of why I don't love shooting with the Sony a7RII at weddings but this does make the entire system much more appealing. I'd love to hear your thoughts and don't complain about the price- they are comparable to the Canon and Nikon offerings.More about the newly announced A6300.
