How many batteries do you take/carry for A7/A7r when you go hike long day or whole day away from home? how long the battery can hold per day?
I went on an overnight hike/camping trip and took 3 batteries. I think that I only used one or maybe two. I have never needed more than two batteries for any outing that I've done, but I don't take as many shots as some people do.

Ok, this can give an idea, so maybe i better try with 4 because i do shoot long exposures and i use the LCD always, all these will eat the battery so quick.
Nice work Tareq - that's a good lens to try out your new A7R. I remember my own excitement, having only about 10 mins of daylight to work with when I received mine in February.
This one was taken this afternoon. I had no idea that the Canberra Zombie Walk was starting from behind my lakeside vantage point where I had been taking landscape time-exposures with a Big Stopper.
I had no AF lenses with me.

Gregg and Werner: Beautiful autumn shots. Going by those beautiful pictures, the Minolta 35-70 Macro really seems to have aged well, at least when in capable hands. It looks plenty sharp and the colors are very Minolta-like.
Here are few shots from a recent trip to Yamanashi prefecture (150km from Tokyo) the other day.

Thanks Chris...it's really a fantastic lens! And it IS very sharp. Doesn't quite have the look that my Contax 35-70 did, but it is damn close! I had tried to unload the MD in the BS forum, with examples, but no one wanted the lens($100)...which I was shocked!! So, as I've decided to minimize my lineup, I kept the MD, and regrettably sold the Contax 35-70!! But, the Minolta does hold its own...
Nice images above...especially the Contax 35 shot!
