Happy to see Sony turning out frequent FW updates.

Now, let me see if I can find my wish list anywhere ...

My first attempt to upgrade to 3.00 failed. I suggest not using a USB hub and don't attempt the upgrade with the battery grip installed.

I think they may have tweeted the auto focus support through adapters.
I have a Fotodiox adapter for EF lenses that I was about to throw away since it didn't really work with any lenses very well.

I put a Canon 16-35 F2.8L VII onto the adapter just to see and it focused quickly and didn't seem to lose contact as it has in the past, even if focusing reasonably well.

The video capabilities are a complete waste for me since I don't do video. But, it seems there are often tweets that don't warrant comment when new firmware is made available.

I also had a good surprise recently after updating the firmware of the body and a little before that of the Metabones EOS->FE Smart adapter : when I switched from the A7r to the A7r2, the Tamron 90mm F2.8 SP Di macro didn't focus anymore. Now suddenly it is able to focus again and the focusing speed is greatly improved with respect to the A7r.

Now, I'm not sure of whether that is the result of the new body firmware, or the adapter firmware.
