Hi all users,with the help from my friends I am now an official members using A7R and need to learn from many of u especially after seeing so many nice photos in the "Photo thread" 
My friends had help me a lot by giving me constructive suggestions and what are some of the popular lenses for different purpose so that I can skip wasting money to buy and try, they may be reading this and I would like to thanks them...lol
Well,another reason for this post is to seek opinions regarding the FF and Crop factor mode.
Example if I were shooting a same subject under similar circumstances like using ISO 6400 but using FF and 1.5x crop mode,are the noise same or FF will be better? Photos sample would be much appreciated if u have. I noticed the crop mode noise is pretty impressive.
Thank you.

Last post, on my bday and then stopped? ;p
Ok, I have FE24-70mm CZ F4 but I still prefer my A-mount 16-35mm F2.8, big fat boy like I am, haha! I using on A7R with 16-35mm with LAEA4 and I always got disconnection once I switch from landscape to portrait. I went to get FotodioX TOUGH E-Mount from Amazon, the bronze edition, looks nicer.
Got the item, but found out that 2 (3rd almost) of screws X on the mount already corroded and having a hard time to remove them. (Check your, send to Sony if can't remove anymore!) I manage to get it fixed after replace and initial testing with the big lens, a bit loose still. I tighten up a bit more, went for some shooting, seem ok by now.
If you are getting the FotodioX TOUGH E-Mount, just make sure those screws are removable first else you going to have a headache. Should work on big heavy lenses, if your current giving you disconnection problems.

I just played with a7s and a7 mk 2 at Sony 313. Noticed Even on A7s there are loads of colour noise Even at ISO 3200 when zoomed into dark background in the images.
However, when I turned on noise reduction, there is No more colour noise.
May I know if you guys have NR turned on or off?

there' a new PlayMemories Camera Apps, Touchless Shutter (Beta)
https://www.playmemoriescameraapps.com/portal/usbdetail.php?eid=IS9104-NPIA09014_00-C10005
With this application, you can simply hold your hand over the eye sensor to release the shutter.
Now you can operate the shutter without touching the camera, thus eliminating camera shake once and for all. When bulb-shooting, hold your hand over the eye sensor twice to start and end the exposure. (*1)
Note:
･Requires built-in or optional finder device with eye sensor. Pop up the finder when using this application with a camera model which has a pop-up electronic finder,
･Before launching the app, make sure the [FINDER/MONITOR] or [FINDER/LCD Setting] that toggles image display targets is set to Auto.
*1 This application supports bulb-shooting with: α7S and α7 II.

Tbh, I think a <$10 generic evilbay IR Remote works better and is more versatile.
Guys, thinking of getting an A7r, may I check what is the maximum flash sync speed with this camera? Camera spec says its 1/160 but have anyone tried 1/200 or 1/250 before? Also can I know how will the EVF look like if I am shooting at F22 at low light condition? Will it be black screen which I can't even see where my focus is? Many thanks.
