I don't know about Sony, but Pentax works the way TCav said. Auto focus lenses have electronics that tell the camera what it's focal length is. The lenses that are auto exposure/manual focus orcompletely manual do not. As soon as you turn on the camera with one of these lenses mounted, a scale comes up. You just scroll through to the right focal length (if it shows a different focal length)and the camera will hold that information, so that the next time you turn on the camera that number will come up. There's a way to change the focal length in the menu system, but I never use it.
