Subject: [Leica] Auto-focus for M Lenses

Remember that the Sony a7 series can't handle obtuse ray angles from Leica
M wide angles and even 50 mm optics.  (BTW, I'll be selling my WATE [bought
here] for those who do want an M wide that works on the Sony cameras.)

Assuming this AF adapter works, the M street shooters might love the Sony
a7S ii.  The high speed with the in-camera image stabilization will take M
optics available light to a new level.  The shutter in the new, series "ii"
Sony cameras has the smoothness you'd expect from Leica.  The original Sony
a7 series had problems there.  Same with AF.  Don't bother with the
original Sony a7 series. With the ii's they got it right.
