I've been testing the Milvus 25 1.4 (zf.2) on Sony A7rII, and as predicted by the MTF curves it is a very noticeable improvement over the Classic 25/2, especially along the edges and in the corners, but even in the center where the classic was already amazing. It is the sharpest lens in the range 24-28 I have ever used on Sony, and I have tried just about every option said to work well, except the Otus28 and the newly announced Loxia25.
I expect this to be my go-to landscape lens for a very long time. One reason for that is that it can also be used with excellent results on a Mirex tilt adapter on the A7RII. Given I don't need shift for my application, in my bag it is replacing the combination of a Canon TS-E 24 II + Zeiss 25/2. The latter was going to be replaced by the Loxia25 for better corners but the Milvus already takes care of that.
Although I initially dismissed this lens because I thought it would be awkward and heavy with a mirrorless camera, it actually balances very well, the lens (without lens shade) being about the same size and weight as the combination of adapter, camera, and L-brackets under both. It is very stable on a tripod using the adapter's L-bracket.
