Does anyone know, of an adapter, that would let me use  a Leica 24 - 90 L mount, on a Sony A7 series  E mount ?

Google, in this case is not my friend ! Plenty of adapters for the Leica lenses  with other mount  types,

but I cannot find any mention of a Leica L mount lens, to a Sony E mount Camera ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Cheers

Wally

I strongly suspect no-one makes one, and quite possibly never will.

Leica L has only 1-2mm more registration than e-mount which doesn't leave a lot of space for an adapter.

I've not got any L mount bits but I think it's also significantly wider than e-mount which almost certainly makes an adapter that focuses to infinity without optical elements impossible.

Google is showing you all the adapters there are ?

      Bokeh?

      Shooting a cactus flower is probably where you do want to have nice bokeh. I can't recall which camera you're shooting, or maybe you haven't said, but using live view you can see what the shot will look like before you press the button. Try setting up on a flower or something stationary where you can control the background and see the changes different settings make.

      That's what I got from your post here: When shooting at f/11, bokeh is indeed not something you should be concerned with, unless when shooting closeup. Nearly all lenses have a polygonal iris shape at f/11 which naturally gives a more edgy rendering of out of focus areas. @Cameratose's example is perfect for demonstrating the relevance of bokeh. To some extent you can influence the backdrop of a shot, but if it is busy foliage relatively close by, it'd better not be distracting from your subject. Some lenses are able to create a more pleasing background than others, even at the same aperture setting and focal length. For the impact of the entire image one might even argue that the smoothness of the background is as relevant as the sharpness of the subject.

      Like Cameratose, I usually go for as much depth of field as I can, but sometimes there is no getting around out of focus areas, such as a closeup of a cactus flower.  I guess, everything else being equal, I might be concerned about a lenses bokeh, but everything else is seldom equal.  At this point in my photography I think I have bigger problems than unattractive bokeh.
