Sony is an electronics company. Should anybody be surprised that
they're not good at optics?

By that reasoning, Canon and Nikon are optics companies. Should anyone be
surprised that they're not good at digital electronics?

Go crawl back into your Troll-Hole, FOOL.

Poor Ray, he talks such nonsense. ;-)

Whatever Ray may think about Sony, the company does make (or at least
puts its name on) some excellent optics. The 16mm and 18-55mm for the
NEX series just aren't among them, that's all.

They've been doing electronics for how many decades?

And how long has Sony been trying to get into the more specialized
optics business?
