You should look into the Sony Camera App called Lens Compensation. You can create profiles for each lens, which you load everytime you change your lens, and the app will write the info in the EXIF data.
Thanks Mark, I was thinking to use Sound Photo to record a voice message with lens info but unfortunately this app is not available for A7r first version. Somebody could say if this solution could be easy to perform? Thanks. Hopefully I will upgrade my camera sooner or later

Manuel, can't help you with your idea. Hopefully somebody else can. But if I were to contemplate that avenue, I would seriously consider having with me small (but not too small) pieces of paper or durable material with me, with written on it the lens ID, and every time I put on a manual lens, I photograph that document with the info on it. Having a visual clue in the right sequence of the pictures is much more natural to deal with than audio bits in all software programs such as Lightroom. An alternative would be to have on your phone the same info, and photopraph the screen.

IMO, you're not missing much. I downloaded the app, as it seems like a useful solution. Unfortunately, Sony cocked it up as they seem to do with many of their SW solutions.
For example, each lens profile doesn't take it's many default settings (focus area, image type, size quality etc) from those set in the camera.
Instead they're set at whatever defaults Sony decided on, and you need to change some of them for every lens, even after setting the application defaults.
So irritating when software is done so poorly.
OK rant over.
I usually just use a notebook or take a photo of a lens before I start shooting with it, and then use lenstagger in LR. Low tech and easy.
