Hey guys, I need to ask you another question.

How is your memory card cover? I mean does it have a slight play up and down? I thought it should be really tight (with no play/loose), but somehow I could feel the rubber cover moving so slightly up and down while I'm holding the camera...

I wanted to ask you guys to see if this is a normal behavior before I give Sony a call. BTW, do you know where to contact for Sony tech support?

Thanks!

Oh no, I don't see it as an issue either... But I would assume it should have been a little tighter (like my 1DX!!

)

So this is normal? Anybody else?

Same with mine, there is a very slight up and down play and I didn't notice until you brought it up

Great images! Some old FD lenses play nicely on that camera, too, huh? I just got my 135mm f/2.0 and I am pleased with it.

I could pick up my SEL-2470Z from the parcel shop today and was able to get pictures soon after.
Here are some of my first results with the lens on the A7r:

70mm f4 1/40s ISO 100

56mm f5.6 1/50s ISO 800

24mm f5.6 1/40s ISO 100

24mm f5.6 1/30s ISO 1250

70mm f4.0 1/70s ISO 4000

34mm f5.6 1/10s ISO 2500

24mm f5.6 1/8s ISO 1250

56mm f4.0 1/10s ISO 1250

All hand-held and processed in LR 5.3.

Bigger sized images are available on flickr:

As a special service for the fantastic Fred Miranda forum, the RAWs can be found on dropbox:

Edit: downsizing for web and sharpening was done with ImageMagic + LR/Mogrify 2 plugin using Lanczos rescale and Unsharp Mask.
All scaling and sharpening steps inspired by various threads here on the alt forum.

Minomaniac -- thank you very much for the 24-70mm samples. Downloading the raws right now. You should cross post these in some of the dedicated 24-70mm threads so people don't miss this valuable post.

As for my picture -- It's already starting to blossom in California!

FE 55mm @2.8 on A7R

I'm experimenting with downsizing & output sharpening for web display. Does this look oversharpened to you?

Yep. All hand-held.

Edit: had resting my elbow on the handrail of the bridge, I was standing on, in some of the photos and was using the battery grip.

From today. Sorry for showing only demonstrations but nothing else is happening in Bangkok these days

The last shot is a heavily cropped shot of the war photographer James Nachtwey.

70mm is the only setting were the SEL2470 isn't super sharp from f/4 in the center, but I like the bokeh and rendering in general

As always you make any lens shine Phillip!
The medium distance sheep shot at 70mm shows a rather pronounced double line bokeh that would have been even more pronounced with a more contrasty background, ideally I would have preferred a little smoother bokeh for shots like these.
