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?
