Zeiss Distagon 15 on MC-11 (Canon Mount) delivers consistently worse (but not bad) results on the 7R2 than a 5DSR or 5D3.
Issues are significantly increased CA about 75% of the way to the edges and some light softness starting at about that same distance from the central portion of the frame.
I expected this for a 15, but not from the longer lenses.
Sounds like all the adapters vary a lot.
I used my Distagon 15 with Metabones IV on A7RII, and in identical compositions using the same lens on a 5DSR, it was slightly inferior at the ends/corners, especially at a distance. Recently I got a MC-11 to compare, and it's perfect: no discernable difference whatever from using it on the Sony. The MC-11 also improves corners on my Canon 17 tilt-shift, although they're still rather soft (even on the Canon) if I employ very much rise or fall.
