I have been lurking around reading your commentaries about M43. I am a sony user. Olympus and Panasonic did a fantastic job with M43 and i recalled people derided me for buying a sony DSLR (everybody makes a better DSLR) and later a NEX5 (its a toy). I bought A7R without hesitating as i thought...

I have been using manual focus lenses on my Sony A7r for the longest time. Collected quite a few lenses but 1 tend to stand out simply because of it's versatility - Minolta 28-85 F3.5-22 MC. Built like a tank with a fantastic feature - 1:4 to 1:10 macro mode. Posting some photos I took recently...

Welcome onboard!

Once you adapt A6000 with LA-EA4 adapter, the AF module of LA-EA4 cuts in. The AF points are spread in the center. I am not sure what you mean by not working but I believe you might be experiencing this.
