Pre-order Sony G lenses: FE 24mm f/2.8, 40mm f/2.5, 50mm f/2.5

Actually Sony seems to be late with these lenses. Tamron and Sigma beat them to the 24mm, and Tamron has a 35 f/2.8, Sigma has a 35 f/2 and 45 f/2.8, and Zeiss has a 40 f/2 that will compete with the 40 f/2.5. Sigma's 45 f/2.8 (as well as the Sony f/1.8 and Sony f/2.8 macro) will also be competing with the Sony f/2.5.
Another way to say that is Sony isn't adding anything very new at all to the system with these lenses. I find that a bit odd when different lenses would add more to the system (e.g., a 24 f/1.8, a small 40 f/1.8, a small 50 f/1.4).
Good points!
The Zeiss Batis 40/2 is by no means compact or small, though.
The selection of small, compact primes for Sony includes third party AF lenses (Tamron, Sigma and Samyang) and will thus be much larger and richer than for the closed Nikon Z-mount, which will get only two compact primes, 28mm and 40mm.

A stray thought; compact Sony 24/2.8 G, 40/2.5 G and 50/2.5 G now that Nikon has got compact 28mm and 40mm lenses on their roadmap.
