Yes, the dumbness or rather lack of, makes an extraordinary difference in 
usability with R lenses......  and there seem to be no rumors out there..... 

I would suggest, bank robbery, marrying a very rich woman ( your preferences 
may be different), being adopted by Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, or selling 
your home and becoming homeless as viable options for money raising 
strategies.........

$7450, body only.

Since the dedicated R adapter L won't be available until late 2016 I have to 
wonder if it's something more than a dumb adapter.  Until this adapter 
becomes available and assuming it operates the auto-diaphragm the SL offers 
little advantage for me vs. the Sony a7II, at least on paper, other than the 
viewfinder.  The viewfinder does sound sweet and the UI likewise is more to 
my liking than the a7II.  I have time to create some cash-raising schemes.
