Q: 7. What Sony lens fits the 55mm lens??

A: Actually, quite a few of them are 55mm threads. The contemporary E-mount 16-70 Vario-Tessar T* and the FE-mount 24-70 F4 Vario-Tessar are both 55mm threaded. This is not to mention the legacy Contax AE/MM mount Zeiss 2.8/25 Distagon T*, 2.8/28 Distagon T*, 2.8/35 Distagon T*, 1.4/50 Planar T*, 1.7/50 Planar T* and 2.8/135 Sonnar T* are all 55mm threaded. In anycase, I don't think Zeiss is making filters exclusively to cater to Zeiss lens owners.
