Caleb, could that be just a regular lens flare? Now, since you wrote:

It happens just below a light source and it happen even with the lens hood on and doesn't happen on my canon.
Some lenses are more susceptible to flare than others and a lens hood doesn't guarantee that you won't get any flare. Especially if the if the light source is fairly strong and just outside the frame. I am not saying that there is nothing wrong with your A7r and/or the 55mm FE. You may want to play around more with that setup to evaluate it further.

Oh, yet another work around to deal with!
This seems to be an adapter/lens light leak. Many here have done long exposure tests with the camera mount cap or native lens cap and there is no leakage.
I took this 30-second exposure and got no leaks either. Perhaps some bodies may be affected by this.

Thanks for the diagram. Just an FYI, hobby shops carry a paint called Floquil "Engine Black" that is the least light reflecting paint I have ever found. I just use a disposable cotton swab to both mix and apply the paint. Dries flat black. Usual cautions about drips and runs. DM

Has anyone had any issues with the LCD display?
I was out taking pictures in the cold yesterday (not that cold actually - around 5°C), and black pixels appeared on the left side of the display (one column of black pixels and a few black pixels here and there). I went home, let the camera sit for 10 minutes, switched it back on, and I had less black pixels. Removing the battery had no effect. It really looked like what you get with a faulty graphics card on a computer.
Another 15 minutes and all black pixels had disappeared. This one really puzzles me, I have to say.
How can I even return the camera for warranty is everything looks fine?

I would call up sony repair and see if this is a known issue.

You may want to post this question on the Alternative Board since it doesn't have anything to do with Canon whatsoever.
I ordered/paid 10 days ago. No shipping notice, no communication nothing. Sent them a message couple days ago and another today. No response thus far. Not good.

It took a couple of weeks for mine to get shipped. I'm guessing they're having more demand recently for this paper than typical...

A few shots to revive the topic, all taken with A7r + Metabones MkIII (flocked on the sides, front, back, and painted flat black on the upper and lower sides)+ Canon 17mm TS-E, I'm now getting great results without flare, and full shift. Very pleased with the combo, the liveview is an amazing tool for architecture.

So what's the verdict shooting an A7R and Canon's 17/24 T&S lenses? Which adaptor, if any, would be the better choice for architecture work?
I have heard the metabones adaptor has internal reflection and needs to be taped. Also while the center resolution is better the edges, even after taping or no better than shooting with a Canon. Any other info would be appreciate it.

I use the 17 and 24 for architecture and use the Metabones III. Works great. It does provide more resolution, and way more latitude in dynamic range, than shooting a Canon body. Even when edges get softer on the A7r, they are still at least as good if not better than the Canon...samples here: http://www.arthurdomagala.com/blog/2014/01/the-sony-a7r-dealing-with-an-existential-camera-crisis/
As far as the internal reflections, yes they do happen, but not as often as you might think from the way people talk about it on internet forums. Flocking will help. You can also use something to try and shade the lens from the incoming light source.
