This is my first post in this thread having purchased a used A7r, 16-35 f/4, and 55 f/1.8 from other FM members recently in the Buy & Sell forum. I am still getting used to this camera and interface, but I had a chance to take some shots while on a vacation trip to Cape Breton last week and posted them below. The files are certainly robust and allow for quite a bit of "extraction" of information when the need arises!
One thing I have noticed is a little flex in the lens mount. After more research I see that this problem is known and wondered if anyone here has experience with this issue and if you do, how did you solve it? I see that there are replacement "tough e-mounts"...do these work?
Thanks for your input and c&c is welcomed on my images.
Jon Jon, I used to own an A7r and did purchase the FotoDiox tough E-mount. Very easy to replace and very effective. I was glad I had done it. I now own the A7II which does not have the issue.

Hi Marc...thanks very much for the follow up on my post. I placed my order yesterday and should see the Tough E-mount LT (Light Tight) today. The reviews I read were mostly very positive and I'm glad to hear that your experience confirms this. It also appears that Sony all but admits the problem existed in the original A7 series (maybe not the "s"?) by announcing a more robust lens mount with the mkII cameras.
Thanks,
Jon
