As the subject name implies, look at this site (scroll down a bit and you'll see new pictures of the A900 + a lens, Zeiss in fact.

No, just scroll down the page. It looks like the 135/1.8 but I'm not sure.
You'll see 2 pictures one after the other, in the first it's a girl holding (and caressing) the A900 with the Zeiss lens.
Editing: where did Sonolta's post go?

Yes, it's the SAL 135 mm 1:1.8 ZA. Don't be puzzled by the large hood!
By the way, that web page also seems to mention a few upcoming lenses, including SAL 24-105 mm 1:4 G, SAL 200 mm Macro, SAL 35 mm 1:1.8, and a 24 mm lens, among others. It also seems to mention another APS-C format DSLR camera with 12 MP called Alpha 800 which does 10 fps ... or at least that's what the sensor was capable of.

Good gosh, you can't just open up the floodgates of speculation like that, Olaf! It's too much! Too soon! I can't handle this!

Hey, guys that xitec site is talking about the dpr A900 preview in part, I think. Some of the images have P. Askey and S. Johnson @ DPR credits.
