So I do need a portable flash for the 7 and 7R. I could buy the Sony unit but was wondering what Metz or other brand is designed for these new breeds.

Ron,I've got the HVL-F20AM as well (old version for NEX-7), and I'm quite happy with it. The flash metering on the NEX-7 is very poor, though. Vivek, has this improved with the A7R? I'm waiting for the Sony hotshoe adapter to arrive so i can use the flash on the A7R.
Well, that's very encouraging to hear! Nikon's TTL metering implementation is the best I've used by quite some margin...Having been familiar with Nikon's iTTL, I think Sony's is not far behind.
Congrats on both cameras... I did the same thing with both the A7 and A7r.Yea this one is a tough one as the info is weak. I'm going to research it there is one for around 350 dollars that I was looking at. Going on computer now to research better. IPad makes it too hard.
BTW I'm all in and ordering a 7 too. MY D800 sold. Figure have both for different needs . A7 is my AF cam for PR and A7r replaces the D800 for advertising and landscape work. Bottom line a d600 and D800e package in a different skin . I like the files better. Okay off to order the A7 and flash search
I would also consider selling my 800e but am really worried about attaching a 2 or 3lb lens on the little A7r. The Nikon is built for those lenses....BTW I'm all in and ordering a 7 too.

That's the only lens I'm concerned about. Its about 2 lbs. and on my radar screen.My Zeiss 135 F2 was just fine
