Sony A6000 and Leica M Lenses

Judging by these images, the SONY A6000 seems to be a good, relatively inexpensive mirrorless camera that can be used with M lenses.  I'm considering purchasing one, and thoughts?  Any software considerations, I'm upgrading to the latest IMAC soon.

Not one single response, interesting...

I couldn't find any images with leica lenses on the particular page you linked to, but I haven't been through all 64 pages!

I have a nex 6, bought a while ago to use with M mount lenses, and it does well with all the lenses I have. Ergonomics and menus etc are a bit challenging at times though.

I bought it in preference to the nex 7 as

The 16mp sensor was reputed to be ok with short backfocus lenses whereas the higher pixel density of the 24mp sensor was not too good, with much the same problems as the larger format Sonys. I dont know if the A6000 is different to the nex 7, I presumed it had the same 24mp sensor so would have the same problems

My apologies, I didn't mean to imply that all the images were done with Leica lenses.  I have since purchased a Sony AR7II, and although it's not the same experience of "simplicity" as with my Monochrom (or even D2) I'm finding that Leica glass and this camera are an amazing match.  In fact, the experience has exceeded my expectations.
