However, these eight listed lenses are shown as &#8216;Out of stock&#8217; if you try to buy them directly from Sony, with dealers then listed on a &#8216;Where to buy&#8217; drop down menu.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"background: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #222222;\"><strong>Amateur Photographer has contacted Sony UK<\/strong> for a comment on the current status of the A-mount lens range and if there is any future for it.

It featured in the world&#8217;s first fully integrated in-camera autofocus system with interchangeable lenses, which came about with <strong>the launch of the Dynax 7000 camera<\/strong>. The mount was originally <strong>acquired by Sony in 2006 when the company bought the DSLR camera division of Konica Minolta<\/strong>.
