I own the ZA 24-70 and SMC Tak 50, but the Sony 50 1.4 is my most used lens. It\'s certainly a good performer, and here\'s a link to a test of multiple 50s on the A900:
There is also the Zeiss ZS option as well, since it looks like Sony is following Nikon\'s lead of wide angle zooms, although the 20mm 2.8 and 35 1.4 are underrated. The Minolta 35 f2 and 28 f2 are excellent, also.
All of this being said, I believe the OP already has his lenses taken care of.
p.s. Zeiss has never really been the Sony advantage, since the ZF range has been around a while. AUTOFOCUS Zeiss is the Sony advantage. If one doesn\'t need AF, then there plenty of options from Hasselblad to Contax to ZS.
