Will my Sony A mount lens autofocus with this adapter?

Troubleshooting
Adapter feels loose or wobbly
Ensure the adapter is fully rotated and locked into the camera mount. Check for any debris on the mounting surfaces that may be preventing a snug fit. Re-mount the adapter carefully.
Light leaks are present
The adapter may not be fully seated on the camera body or lens. Remove and re-mount both the adapter to the camera and the lens to the adapter, ensuring a firm and secure connection. Check for any damage to the adapter's mounting rings.
Focusing is difficult or inaccurate
This is expected as the adapter disables electronic functions. Practice manual focusing using your camera's live view or focus peaking features. Ensure you are using the focus distance scale on the lens if available.
Cannot mount lens or adapter
Verify that you are using the correct lens mount (Sony A) and camera mount (Leica L). Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the mounting mechanism. Do not force the connection; if resistance is met, check alignment.
