I too would be interested in the sound of the shutter. Thanks

It should be the same as the 5N, which is considerably better than the 5 due to the electronic first curtain shutter. All you hear now is the sound of the mechanical curtain closing (as opposed to opening AND closing). The sound seems to be dampened some as well.
The shutter is (slightly) quieter than the NEX-3&5. It's still louder than most M4/3 cameras and the X100, but much quieter than a traditional DSLR.

Well Carlos - there are truths in the world, and one of them is that dealers don't seem to know about deliveries! (and reps aren't much better)
My A77 was due mid october, and it was delivered to my dealer out of the blue at the end of September, without warning (and they are one of the biggest dealers in the country).
I guess it'll arrive when it arrives.
all the best

Does the lens adaptor for the Nex-7, include one for Leica "M" lenses?

There are lens adapters for M lenses but they are all third party. Nothing made by Sony.

Jono, I think you might change your mind once you receive the hawk's helicoid

Well, you may easily be right . . mind you, at the moment I don't have a camera to put an adapter on (5n has gone back to hong kong and the 7 hasn't arrived!)Jono, I think you might change your mind once you receive the hawk's helicoid
I have both and ftm I'm actually using the Metabones while the Hawk is lying in a drawer.
The Metabones feels sturdy, zero play. The CV35/1.2 II goes to 0.5m as it is so there is no need for the Hawk adapter with that lens. The Hawk adapter will come in very handy if I fall in love with some old RF lens focusing down to a meter or so only.

My 35 "cron has been sitting in a box, but now perhaps i'll introduce it to the NEX-7...when I get one. I'm very curious about wireless flash sync and shutter lag too.

Not trying to be too negative as I also have a lens extender, the Leica OUFRO, for enabling M lenses to focus closer. Most M lenses, were designed to give optimal image quality within the designed focus range. A lens with a minimum focus distance of .7 meters will continue image degradation shorter than .7 meters with an extension. The only M lens I am aware of that is optimized for closer than infinity is the 90mm M macro. If one is looking for closer focusing with a M mount lens, the extenders like the hawks and OUFRO will work, but if one wanted to retain IQ at close focusing with a EVF/LCD Sony camera then why not look at a SLR macro lens with adapter?Jono, I think you might change your mind once you receive the hawk's helicoid
