ILCE-9 System Software (Firmware) Update Ver.1.10 (Mac)
https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/downloads/00145148

I updated successfully from Ver. 1.01 to 1.10.
Now I have to find out what changed and whether the stuff I use stills works, only better hopefully.

K-H.

Someone over at dpreview said that Eye AF is now working with Canon lenses and the Metabones adapter in Green Mode (not advanced). That would be fantastic, if true.

Yes it does. I tested EF200f1.8 and Metabones v.0.57 and also TechartPro has Eye AF working.

Yup, TechartPro has Eye AF working, sure does.
I displayed a portrait image on the screen and TechArt Pro recognized the face and the eye(s)!

Grateful to have adapted Sigma 135 now approaching native; though Eye-AF still not working with 24mm TS-E...

Put a TAP and an M-mount to EF mount adapter on lol.

Yes I need to give the Sigma 135 another try. The 'native' mode via the MC-11 was too buggy for me.

Fred, I just checked it out and it does pick up Eye-AF using the TAP. Wow! The face recognition worked before but the Eye-AF now works, too and no, it is not a joke!

I don't have an A9 and hope this improvement will trickle down to the A7RII as well.

Wow have to get one now for my CV 35 1.7. Fred we have to figure out infinity now. There has got to be a adjustment somehow on the motor travel

Folks from TechArt any ideas on how we can adjust infinity. We need to retract closer to sensor

Fred you may have to just buy a A9 now. Lol

both Metabones (green mode) and Techart emulate the lae-a3 adapter, so if Sony enabled eye-af on their adapters, it makes sense that other two would work as well.

The Eye-AF on the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art works like a charm on the Metabones in green mode. Wow! It is just like native now. Unbelievable! @GMPhotography - Guy, you need to try this out now. Freakin' amazing, I would say.

Now, I need to try my long Canon lenses on the Metabones. No, not for the Eye-AF, of course, but as long as it is close to the performance of a native FE lens in follow focus, then I am super thrilled.

I am hoping that, too, Fred but at least, it shows us how great the AF of the future A9r or A7r III would be. I am excited....

I tried the Sigma 135mm using the MC-11 on the A9. It works way better than before, too. It pulsates a little more than using Metabones but it is still not bad. We thought it had to do more with the firmware of the MC-11 but as it turned out it is has more to do with the FW of the A9.
