Bob Parsons had a pretty good look and others too at DPI:
"The 35mm Summicron ASPH was the first Leica M lens I tried on the A7RII because it's corner performance was so bad on the A7II and A7R. Sadly I've not found much improvement in the smearing. In fact I didn't even develop the files, just viewed the magnified corners of the image in the viewfinder. On the A7RII the corners still show the odd effect of being diffuse one side of focus and a double image on the other side of focus. The best focus point still has significant smearing. This is so very different compared to the corner performance of the little 35/2.8 FE lens on the A7RII, there's just no comparison. Even stopped down the Summicron is no match for the FE lens at full aperture.

Not looking very good. But at least the Kolari option for the older models is working very well.

I moved to R lenses to avoid this issue entirely, so I don't care either way. However, I do think reporting all Leica wide lenses not playing well with the a7r II, based on one single report, from a guy who tried a couple lenses and didn't even get to look at the files (he used the viewfinder) as "not playing well with Leica wides" is a bit over the top.
It's very possible there is little or no improvement, or that there is some improvement. We don't know yet, because we haven't see a full test, and that single original post, is far, far from an actual test of any kind. It's tantamount to 'my friend's friend said'..
