I bought mine on ebay, can be use on full frame.
You can get it too at those local camera shop, I mean the one selling old lens or provide camera repair service

Can vouch for fotga too ; using my 58/1.2 on the A7 and it's superb value for money

I quite a few, both expensive and no brand ones, but I don't really see a difference between them. I kept quite a few no brand ones as I prefer to leave the adapter with the lens so it's easier to change and cap.

finally got my A7 back from service centre after sending it in for a laggy EVF sensor and wanting to resolve the light leak issue once and for all. Updates: Other than fixing the light leak issue, I like the clip in that it hides the orange mount of the camera and of course, that it attaches tightly over the release lens button; unlike some other rubber band solutions bandied outside. For CS-ers, if you wish to send you unit in to Sony. Pls do so by sending it in the 313 branch. Ask for the body to be checked for light leak issues and say that you are from the same photography forum where you read about this clip being given free as a solution. Show them this post if need be as the customer service guy who served me today was still 100% clueless about this fix. Black and white document stating the fix. Thread with all the details on the issue and contact with Sony SG at http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1435459

Thanks for all the sharing. Got one from Mr Lim already.

May I know if anyone got a cheaper price for the A7 after the cash rebate? Usually the store will give some discount, I'm not sure if they will still do with this promo on the cash rebate..

I got my a7r with the black rubber attached. Sent in sat, got it today (Thursday).

Pros
- looks more discreet as a street camera

Cons
- not sure if the rubber will last with long exposure in the sun in a few year's time?

On the receipt, it says $90 but waived because it is under warranty. Mine was bought in MY but they honor it anyway.

Thanks once again to Keith Wee for championing this!

Welcome glad to know that A7r is covered too. Sony really needs to work harder for it's after sales and marketing service w/ Clubsnap but I can see we r off on a good start.

I did ask about getting an extra ring , even saying I was willing to pay for it but Sony was very clear in providing only one piece per set sent in. Guess they wanted to keep track of the sets they did this service for.

I just got my a7 back from servicing yesterday. I highlighted the light leak issue before sending in. But they did not give me the ring when I got it back. I also forgot to check when I got it back yesterday. Sigh...
