[Leica] [Image] Lens Testing

[Douglas Barry]

Glad to see you're enjoying your new gear. I too have a shed load of old 
lenses that I sometimes use with my A7ii too,  but the results can be 
variable. I use Fotodiox adapters - I have five of them - Leica, Pentax, 
M42, Olympus and Miranda, and sometimes wonder should I shell out for 
higher end adapters. Not sure yet as I'm not doing as much photography 
as I used to due to circumstances. I did buy a Sony Zeiss FE 1.8/55 
recently and it does work very well with the camera. Perhaps you'd let 
us know what lens adapters you are using?
