Agreed, at f5.6 or larger..... and for longer lenses.....where DOF is more
narrow to begin with.

When using Leica or Konica, or any other non-Sony/Zeiss lenses on my A7, I'm
normally working at f5.6 or wider, and the focus assist does just fine at
those apertures.

I'm wondering why it needs to be complicated by more hardware.
