New Sony lenses announced at PMA!
This doesn't quite match what I've seen in the Sony inventory, but they are:
Full frame:
1) super telephoto
2) 28-75mm F2.8
APS-C only:
1) 50mm F1.8 DT
2) 30mm F2.8 DT Macro
3) 55-200mm F4-5.6 DT (probably restyled)
4) 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 DT
Oh, and...
Sigma 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM and 50-200mm F4-5.6 DC OS HSM for Sony!
This is what DPReview says:

This lens features a new Optical Stabilization unit which Sigma claims will work on Sony and Pentax bodies with in-body stabilization systems
The 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 is also internal focus and internal zoom!
Both aren't as spectacular in minimum focus distance, though, with the 18-50mm taking a plain 30cm MFD instead of the fantastic 20cm MFD of the 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC and 18-50mm F2.8 DC. Even the Sony 55-200mm F4-5.6 DT bests the Sigma equivalent at a 95cm MFD.
Oh, and the Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM is the brightest ultra-wide DT lens we've ever had. Sigma seems to be going back to 82mm filter sizes though.
