Q: 3. When using the M-Adapter L from Leica on the SL2-s with M style lenses, does the adapter provide automatic stop down, or are you viewing through the closed down aperture?

Also, I understand when using the adapter that infinite focus will be less then infinite on the lens. How does focusing of M lenses work out in real life?

A: According to Leica, the camera automatically switches to aperture priority when the adapter is attached. As for the focusing, a sharp image is achieved before the mechanical infinity stop on the lens is reached.
