Chuck:Yesterday (9/16/17) I photographed my first Division 1 College Football Game at West Virginia University. The attached photo is WVU WR # 2 Ka’Raun White catching a 28 yd TD Pass from QB Will Grier at 10:45 in the 2nd Qtr.  
My camera settings: 1/2500s, f/5.6, 100mm, ISO 500
I shot the entire game with my Sony A9 and the 100-400 G Master Lens.  I also used the 24-70 GM and the 12-24 G lenses to capture other environmental elements in order to tell the whole story of the day.
It was an awesome experience!

Images of the modified A7 Full Frame E-mount camera without EVF!

A Chinese member of the Xitek forum shared these pictures of his Full Frame E-mount camera wihtout EVF. He modified the Sony A7 by removing the EVF on top of the camera. It now has become a sort of Full Frame a6500 camera. The forum members clearly liked his “creation” and maybe Sony should really consider to make such a camera.

Click on these pictures to see how he modified the camera:

Just a reminder: Sony actually once patented a FF compact camera without the top EVF:
