But you can't take TAP off when on tripod. Is that correct. My modified Sunway that's the only thing I can't do. For 20 bucks I'll order the one above for kicks.

Just treat to another lens with non-removable petals. It will thank you . . .

Holy Moly.
Using a battery that didn't previously drain overnight, I'm seeing a 74% level after about 12hrs - 25% drain overnight from a fresh battery, with the camera off.
The adapter also refused to AF for about a dozen attempts (pre-focusing, choosing subjects at different distances, focusing on horizontal vs. vertical areas of high contrast etc didn't make a difference).
Eventually, the AF square appeared and the adapter started working.
Assuming this isn't some sort of anomaly, whatever was broken in v4, needs fixin'.

I would take the system through its paces for a day or two, fully charge it and then see what happens.

On that L bracket the tripod mount hole is farther back.
I can remove the LMEA7 adapter with the camera mounted on my tripod.
A different tripod may or may not work.

I have a battery grip attached, so attaching or removing the adapter is not a problem.

Does anyone know if there is a way to clear all of the lens settings so that no lens length is displayed?

That one from Ebay looks very similar to the Sunwayfoto L-bracket. It looks like a copy.

I don't understand why more people aren't freaking out over how awesome this thing is.. This a massive leap in functionality for a7(r)ii owners. Does the president know? Someone should probably tell him.. :P

Got it 15 minutes ago. I am blown away. Just did a few test frames on my Helios 40 to check it out. This lens is really tough to focus manually. Wow. Just wow.
