Techart released the firmware 2.0 for the Leica M autofocus adapter. Here are the imrpovements list google translated from STKB:

● There was a phenomenon that the focus is get lost in the bright lens during use than F2.0, but improved in the part of the lens.
● was to eliminate the phenomenon that bleeds through a circular pattern to shoot with the setting of “peripheral illumination correction” to “Auto”.
● Motor sound at the time of AF drive, became quiet than the initial version (Ver1.0).
● Focus in the AF, was further added the modes in which you can fine-tune at the MF.
(You can shoot with a feeling such as DMF)
【Setting method】
1. Set the aperture value of the camera side to F45.
2. Press the shutter release button.
● often to black out it is low in use.

Still, there is a delay in the adpater shipment and we don’t knwo when they will resume sales. The preorder option at Adorama is gone too :(

Fototesty: “A little experiment? See how much you will gain if the image from Sony a7R II downsize the image to the 24 MPix. For high iso – remove the noise in RAW, sharpen slightly and enjoy the results:
