Breaking: The guys over at Sony Alpha Rumors have reported on the four newly announced lenses offered by Sony for their FE mount α7 series cameras. According to Sony Alpha Rumors the long-speculated Zeiss fast-aperture prime is a 35mm f/1.4 distagon. While details are still incoming we now know that the lens I had hoped would be an 85mm is, in fact, a 35mm. Heartbreak.
In addition to the 35mm f/1.4 Sony also announced a 90mm f/2.8 macro "G" lens which features OSS optical stablilization. This lens will be awesome for portrait and macro work.
Rounding out their selection of wide-angle primes, Sony has announced the FE 28mm f/2.0 which is compatible with two new converters; the 16mm fisheye converter, and the 21mm ultra wide converter.
These three lenses are slated to start shipping in March of 2015.
Finally Sony has announced a 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 10x zoom lens. This may make for a nice, compact vacation lens for α7 owners but definitly isn't making us too excited.
That's all the info we have at the moment, we'll be sure to update the post as information comes in.

Logical
85 and 90 what for
I would want to shoot at wide open apatures like f/1.4. Not the f/2.8 that the macro provides.
You're right
Don't get me wrong, 90mm f/2.8 is great, but it's a macro lens. It's not made for portraiture.
Wide aperture telenenses use to be bulky.
It depends on what you want...bokeh is nor Pandora box
