I do not have a Nikon Z body to test myself, but it would be great to know if the claims about the Nikon Z sensor being as thin as Leica’s are true. The only thing I can confirm is that the Leica SL sensor is indeed just as thin.
Kolari found the removeable sensor glass in the Z7 to be 1.1mm.
Although somebody in this DPReview thread claims it's really 2.3mm when you include the non-removeable glass cover.
It doesn't really matter, as all we need is a solid visual comparison between an SL2 and a Z7 or Z7ii using any M lens known for edge smearing when adapted (or any wide-angle M lens in general). The only remotely similar comparison I have found online is Sony vs SL with the CV 58 1.4. Although the difference is very clearly in favor of the SL, this is an SLR lens, so the comparison is slightly less relevant (and only confirms what we already know, that being that Sony sucks for this)

Since this is an SLR lens and you're measuring center performance, I think the difference is mostly going to be up to the AA filter/lack thereof.
