Until the new Sony A7 and A7R mirrorless cameras hits stores and we get a chance to test it, we can only watch the official unboxing video and read some of the reviews that have emerged on the Internet.

If you're wondering how the APS-C lenses will work in conjunction with Sony A7 and A7R, Chinese website Mobile01 has recently tested all available APS-C lenses on a Sony A7R body and shared the results.

For this test, the feature that sets the camera into APS-C lens mode was turned off for the sole purpose of seeing how the crop factor of each lens is handled on Sony's mirrorless full frame camera.

The test includes all Sony zoom and fixed focus lenses, including the Zeiss Touit series. As you can see from the pictures, each of them has a clear center image surrounded by a black circle due to the crop factor of the APS-C lenses.

This test also busts the rumor that the 16mm F/2.8 (SEL1628) and the 16-70mm Zeiss (SEL1670ZA) lenses will not have vignetting on this camera.
