Well, the truth is there are fewer and fewer reasons to pay OEM premium...
If you don't need:
1) TC support
2) more than 15 FPS
3) the most accurate tracking
then 3rd party lenses offer more variety at similar IQ and lower price.
Of course, Sony still has some native gems in its own lineup, like 28-70/2 or 50-150/2, but 3rd parties also have unique lenses like 35-150/2-2.8 or 28-45/1.8 or 35/1.2. The latest releases especially (e.g. 35/1.4 DG II) show that the gap has basically closed.
