I've been looking at this lens to adapt to the E-mount but there are a few variants.

Which one is the best for the Sony sensor and what's to expect compared to modern 85-90 lenses?


I've got a Nikon mount version with the CPU (SL2 I guess).
On my D800 it was hard to get a sharp image because the focusing was very very sensitive at infinity - i.e., very slight changes make significant different in the sharpness. The not very good live view on the D800 did not help.
But on my A7RIII + adapter I can get very sharp images right from wide open.
Stopping down doesn't improve the sharpness drastically last time I checked.

Is it as sharp as other 90 or 85mm offerings? Not sure since I only have the 85/1.8 Sony and 85/4 ZM.

This is one lens that I'm currently holding onto to maybe some day buy a Nikkon Z7 + Adapter to use.

It would be great if there was a Nikon to Sony adapter with simple CPU support so the lens could be recognized by my A7RIII (or future A7RIV).
