    Today we feature an article by Rick Kattlemann.  Rick has done an extensive article on the lens options for Sony’s popular a7r camera, specifically focusing on the wide angle options.  When Sony launched this camera their offering of dedicated lenses was minimal to say the least.  Rick looks at what is available to use with adapters.  If you are considering a purchase of a Sony or are looking for wide angle lenses then this is a must read.  Read  Sony a7R Wishful Thinking
