They already had seven FE lenses, by my count: 2870, 2470, 35(2.8), 55, 1635, 24105, and 70200.
They just announced four new lenses: 24240, 35(1.4), 90, and 28. Plus two wide angle adapters for the 28.
All of these will work fine on an A7S.

A7 with kit lens and a number of legacy lenses (mostly Canon FD); A3000 converted to IR.

Can you be more specific!
They'll come in handy with any camera. Or any car, come to think of it.

I know these lenses will attach to an A6000, but what are the effects of using an FE lens on an E mount camera? I really appreciate knowing that.

FE lenses are designed to cover a full frame 35mm sensor. The situation can be confusing because the E lenses are seldom designated as such (the 'E' is often left off) and they are really designed to only cover the APS-C sensors.
All these lenses are designed for the physical configuration of the e-mount of the Sony mirrorless ILC cameras whether they are FE or E lenses.
FE lenses will act like E lenses of the same focal length on the APS-C sensor cameras. On the other hand, E lenses when used on full frame (35mm sensor) cameras do not typically cover the entire frame and will either auto crop to APS-C by default or vignette if the crop feature is turned off. A few of these E lenses will cover the entire or perhaps the majority of the 35mm sensor under the right circumstances. The advantage of owning an E lens is that they can be smaller than an FE counter part.

Bruce, that means the FE announcements have really improved the lens menu for my A6000, FE or E on the A6000 giving the same results for either.
Thank you for your response.

Correct...no 24-105, but there is a big FE 28-135 that is primarily designed for video or masochists.

[Insert clamour for focal reducer]
They may have an identical* effect on the camera, but not on your wallet.
*for same FL/f ratio

One can use FE lenses on A6000 without any problems and they will behave as E-mount.
As you know the weakest spots of a lens are the corners, by using FE lenses on A6000 you minimize this problem because in this situation not the complete surface of a lens is used.(cut off part of the corners)
