Minolta MD to Sony E Mount Adaptor that sends focal length/aperture information to the camera?

Discussion/Question

Howdy, I recently bought a Sony A7II mirrorless camera intending to adapt my existing set of Minolta MC lenses to it. Over the weekend I've looked around at various Minolta MD to Sony E-Mount adaptors, but one thing I haven't found a good answer for is whether or not any of them will send aperture information (and focal length if possible) to the camera. So basically, if I change the lens aperture setting using the aperture ring, will I see the f-stop change accordingly in my Sony viewfinder? And with this in mind, would you have any appropriate lens mount adapter recommendations? This would be a great thing to have because I'd be able to look through the Sony viewfinder and see all the info I'd need to take shots, (versus having to repeatedly switch between the viewfinder and the aperture ring) just like I'm able to do with my SRT. Many thanks!
