Sony A7 models with non-Sony lenses

now the status updated and it says it's with a technician(just now). it's because i called them too like you did. if i didn't call i think they will never care.

repair says maybe 10 business days so i hope for the best.

it worried me coz i read a lot of bad reviews in sony repair.

Thanks Eddie!

Hope you guys get your a7r back soon.

Haven't had a chance to take the camera out since I received it back from Sony service. The lens mount issue has been fixed - no more wobbles This was a 180 second shot with the camera in direct sunlight. No light leaks either.

^ That's good news.

Some more samples of my son using the Zeiss 55.

^Wow, love those last two Alfredo! Watch out: that level of cuteness just might burn out your camera's sensor! Super precious shots.

Way more mundane, here is a view of the Chase County Courthouse in Cottonwood, Kansas. The greenish hue in the clouds is from an approaching storm...2 minutes after the shot, all the sun was gone and it got dark and ominous.

I had to respond after reading this . My a7 had arrived at Laredo late last week, but had not shown up in the system as of yesterday morning. I called yesterday, within a few hours it showed up as being seen as a technician. I wasn't really pleased with the service rep's attitude on the phone. I'm no pro so I don't expect be treated with kid gloves, but it was definitely a different experience than talking to Canon when my camera was sent to NJ.

yes i'm not please with how they handle phone calls too.

How will we know if we have the light leaks issue?

Set to bulb or 30 sec exposure, set the aperture wide open (f1.4~f2.8) and ISO 1600 ~ 6400 (this would be the typical setting for catching night sky without star trail using a ultra wideangle lens, and among the more common camera use, it's probably the most demanding application I could think of in terms of light sensitivity). Put lens cap on the lens and for extra measure, tape the seam or wrap securely with dark cloth. During exposure, shine a light all around the lens mount (small Maglite with focused beam would be best). If the connection between lens and camera is good, the resultant image should be black with perhaps some noise depending on ISO setting and how warm your camera was at the time of exposure. Then again, this is an extreme stress test and DSLRs have been known to fail especially if the viewfinder is not covered. Unless you are using the A7/R for long exposures and astrophotography, I would not be too concerned.
