I think it might be because the auto focus uses reflections off the mirror in order to work but could be wrong. [Nice hummer pic btw.]

When I wanted to use my legacy glass I got a used NEX-7 and a bunch of adapters. It's been a lot of fun using old glass and getting pictures with character because of it.
I shoot a D7000 w/18-200 VR 1 when the picture absolutely has to come out. So far it hasn't let me down. I have the 'wants' for a D750, Sony A7ii, or a D7200, not necessarily in that order. The need for a full frame isn't that great these days. The only desire is to shoot the legacy at their native focal lengths.
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, with interest, to see which way you decide to go.
