<p>Many thanks for your reply Douglas. I was aware of most of the limitations you mention and would prefer to use Sony lenses but unfortunately there are very few FE lenses available. In particular there is no 28-105mm. My Pentax 28-105mm was my favourite lens and about 95% of my shots were taken with it. Like you I found it to be very good. <br> If I decide to buy a Sony A7 my plan would be to buy it without the 28-70mm kit lens and then use my Pentax 28-105mm with an adaptor most of the time until Sony, or perhaps Sigma, make something similar.<br> .</p> <p> </p>

<p>I have each of the three lenses listed above from the time when I shot film with a Pentax MZ-5n. When I moved to digital I opted to get a Nikon D3100.<br> I would like to have a full frame digital camera but they are all too big and heavy except, that is, for the Sony A7. This looks like an attractive proposition especially now that the price has dropped and I have been thinking about buying the body and a lens adaptor and using my Pentax zooms again (they all have aperture rings so using an adaptor should be relatively easy).<br> I was wondering if anyone here has used any of these lenses with an A7 and if so what you think of the results? Also which adaptor did you use?</p> <p> </p>

<p>Charles - the RX100 has really impressed me (it goes everywhere with me which means I am taking many more photographs than I used to) such that after more than 30 years as a Nikon user I am thinking about trading in my relatively heavy DSLR gear for an interchangeable lens Sony mirrorless system. The A7 is rather tempting now that the price has dropped but I think I will wait and see what the rumoured A7000 has to offer before making a move. <br> Thanks again,<br> Robin</p>

<p>Thanks very much Charles - works on my MK1 exactly as you described.</p>

<p>I have had a Sony RX100 for a few months and am amazed at the quality of the images I get from it - as good as my Nikon D3100 as far as I can tell. However I find the amount of information displayed on screen distracting when I am composing a shot. Is there any way of turning this off or reducing it? I have searched the menus and can't find one.</p>
