Thank you!
You get exif/aperture control, but no autofocus.
Found some time to test...
A7Sii fw2.10
Commlite fw0.3
Used Nikon G lenses to test.
Similar behavior as commlite fw0.2 - focusing is slow on CDAF system. It will take approx. 2-3s to lock focus on good light. Hunts in bad light.
Bottom line - this adapter is not for CDAF cameras like A7Sii. Of course should want to use it, you can but don't expect instant lock like PDAF on A7rii. I don't don't have a A6300 to test, so I can't comment. Wait for bros/sis' who has to test.

anyone try it for a7r??
I believe it is not officially supported as per the website. I finally found some time to test it on my daughter's a6k.
A6k fw v3.10 Commlite fw v0.3 tested using nikon 24mm f1.4G & 50mm f1.4G.
Auto focus is slow as if it hunts. But will eventually lock focus after 3-4s. Exhibit behaviour exactly like the A7Sii. Does not activate PDAF on A6k hence uses CDAF - that's why slow in acquiring focus.
Hope it helps.

Tried A6300 with Sigma 150-600 C and nikon 35 1.8DX.
Both lens are autofocusing much better with V3.0 update.
Sigma 150-600 C now has slow autofocus at 600mm, V2 could not focus at all. But autofocus while taking video did not work for me at 600mm.
Nikon 35 1.8 autofocus is fast.

I have tried the the following Sigma Art lenses 20mm, 35mm, 50mm and 24 -105 on my A7ii on 3.1 firmware on the original commlite version on firmware 4.0.
The Af on the prime Art lenses were even faster than my Nikon 28mm 1.8G and 85mm 1.8G but just a tad slower than on my D750 but close.
But somehow,the Art 24-105 always has a 1+ sec pause before focussing and even then still a little off with1/3 of the shots. Exactly like the Nikon 24-85G VR.
