A SAR reader who prefers to remain anonymous sent me this:

“I sent my [shoplink 47915]FE 2470GM[/shoplink] in for repair through Sony Pro Support due to the lens mont gasket not sealing completely on the A7/A7r/A7rII mounting flange. After seeing the video you posted of the FE 2478GM ‘teardown” I was able to confirm that Sony has made a significant change to the lens mounting gasket.  The gasket shown in the video (At 1:18 to 1:20) has a significantly larger and thicker gasket that wraps completely around the metal mounting plate.  I contacted Precision Camera (who Sony is using to repair my camera) to advise them that I want to make sure I get the ‘new’ gasket installed on the my 2470GM….  Precision camera just confirmed back that they have VERIFIED THAT THERE IS A NEW P/N FOR THE 2470GM GASKET REAR.

My 2470GM was Pre-ordered about 1 month before the actual release date.  I had posted here that I could see a ‘sliver’ of light between the camera and lens mount when viewed perpendicularly ( light was visible for about 120 degree around the circumference ).  I didn’t have a concern until I was shooting in light rain 10 days ago. When I got home I noticed moisture in the camera body lens mounting grooves….

PS: the video also shows a black ‘rubberized’ coating on the end ribbon connector cable where it plugs into the PC board.  My camera did not have the coating, which appears to be a reinforcement / strain relief for the PC Board connector.  Precision camera is trying to confirm if this is another ‘upgrade’ from the original or not.  Will advise when they update me..”
