Q: 3. How does this lens preform on the a7ii? I heard about some autofocus issues and if so, will the update firmware fix this?

A: I had it on A7Rii, but I would assume that it be a same on A7ii. I did return this lens (B&H was really good about it, never hesitate to buy anything from them - they stand behind their products). My problem was with auto focus. I don't know if lens was defective or it just works this way. I do have the latest firmware update but taking a photo-shoot of about 200 pictures of the same person from about the same distance and same light conditions I had about 70% of pictures slightly out focus. Not enough to show on camera screen or smaller size prints, but enough to see if enlarged. I have 55mm Sony-Zeiss , 25mm Batis, 85mm Batis and 70-200 mm f4 Sony G. Never had any problems like that with auto focus on any of my lenses, so I know it was not a camera problem.
