Not master here, still a newbie, you can try:
For 2nd hand lens:
ClubSNAP's Buy and Sell
(some are selling KM 75-300mm lens there)
2nd lens/camera shop around Peninsular Plaza area.
Ebay, B&H, Adorama, KEH on internet.

New lens (minolta and 3rd party) on usual shop like:
Alan Photo, Cathay Photo, TK photo, MS colour, TCW, John etc.

Yeah, Sony seems to not get their lens into the market as planned.

Some lens that should be in the market but not yet.

For June 06

18-200 mm F3.5-6.3 - USD$499
50 mm F1.4 , USD$349
50 mm F2.8 Macro , USD$479
100 mm F2.8 Macro , USD$679

For Aug 06

11-18 mm F4.5-5.6, USD$649
70-200 mm F2.8 G , USD$2399

Seems that the November date given for the first CZ lens won't be as plan too? Too bad their marketing is good but lens not roll out fast enough as they planned. Like many still waiting for their list of lens.

Even at photokina only see they introduced the T10. I wonder if they forgotten the KM-based users. Bcoz the newbie users on the A100 will have their hands full with the kit lens and 75-300mm if the y purchase together, to play with at the moment.

Sad.
