Does someone make a screw on wide angle adapter? So for intstance I get the 85 mm at 1.4 and I need a wider shot from time to time something that I can screw on the front to bring it out?

You can get lots of eBay ones that will fit most lenses and cost under $50.00.

The price alone should convince you why you should not buy or use one Randy! If you need to go wide then it takes the same amount of time (maybe even faster) to click on a wider lens than screw in an adapter. If you are getting the 85mm lens then finding something like a 50mm will be super easy!! In fact Sony make an F1.8 50mm lens for the EA-50

That's the whole point of Sony making an exchangeable lens camera. Change the lens. Adapters and converters are for fixed lens cameras where you have no choice and will put up with the loss in quality, vignetting etc.
