Hatem: “I’ve been a regular visitor and reader of your site, and have just published an article which could be of interest to your readers about the great experience using the Sony A7R together with the Sony Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 Lens and Sony LA-EA4 Adapter. You may be interested in sharing it. Link: http://shapedbylight.com/2013/12/25/shooting-the-sony-a7r-with-the-sony-zeiss-135mm-f1-8-lens-and-sony-la-ea4-adapter/”

Florian: “I’ve browsed the Web and found this little but very nice review of the A7. The lady who was giving it a try is a great photographer and uses mainly middle format and film. The results from her shoot with the A7 are beautiful and she seems to be quite impressed with our tiny little camera. Don’t know if it’s worth a news, but I think it’s great to see middle format photographer having a great time using the A7. The link is here: http://blog.micmojo.com/2013/sony-a7/”

Thododoris: “I took an A7r sample with me on a mountain trip – images here: http://thodorismarkou.com/blog/2013/12/winter-solstice-sony-a7r/
…all the images were shot at aperture-priority mode and AWB, and I really liked the fact that I didn’t have to do any post-processing – the camera got the metering and the white-balance perfect every time. The focusing was a breeze, too – it never slowed me down.
I’ve also included two RAW files, which will be available for a week.”

Anonymous: “Hi Andrea! This has got to be the first wedding shot with the new Sony A7r and A7 using Leica manual lenses!!! They ate the first unit owners here in the Philippines! You might want to feature them. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.605369739499836.1073741832.468714236498721&type=1”
