I find that the sharpness of the lens is good enough for my user cases. I can't comment on the comparison with the Fuji GF250 since I have not used that Fuji lens. But if you read the MTF diagrams of both lenses, the GF250 should be sharper by a good margin,
I have the Hassleblad C Zeiss 250 f/5.6 SuperAchromat as well and really love the lens. As mentioned it has a different and I think very nice rendering. I doubt it is as sharp as the Fuji GF 250, but you can't really compare the MTFs from the two manufacturers. The Zeiss MTFs are measured and the Fuji MTFs are theoretical, so you are really comparing apples to oranges when looking at these two sets of MTFs. I find the SuperAchromat to be sharp enough when I have used it but it is the rendering that really makes the lens.

35mm with 1 degree tilt. The tilt mechanism can be fiddly on FotoDiox Pro. But works.
You have a very nice, lightweight setup now for movements.
The tilt mechanism on the Fotodiox is a pain if you mount your camera to the tripod, and then tilt the lens. It is much easier to use if you put a lens collar around the front of the adapter, mount the collar to the tripod, and then tilt the body. This also helps reduce the amount of recomposing needed.
Unfortunately, you have to build your own collar. If you have a file and patience, it's not hard to do. I used an inexpensive one from eBay. Have I shared this link with you yet? I can't remember. If not, here it is again: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4548327

Thanks to you. Based on our conversation and your posts over the net, I decided to take the plunge.

Others may have had better luck, but I couldn't get the Fotodiox to autofocus with any lenses. Fringer, OTOH, has been nothing short of fantastic.
My experience is only with the two mentioned but a lot of others have come to the same conclusion - that the Fringer is the adapter to get - y'know - if you can get it. They're all about the same price, more or less. Is the Fringer not available where you're at?
How do these adapters work with Sigma EF lenses? I have a 100-400 that I could use (at least in crop mode), but I'm not willing to buy an expensive adapter if I can't be 100% sure it works.
And if it does work, will OIS work? And/or will IBIS know the focal length when zooming?

I use the Sigma 135 1.8 Art and 85 1.4 Art EF mount and with the fringer Ibis works just like native glass. Can't answer the question on the zoom as I don't own any EF zoom lens just primes.
