My experience is that the Sony mirrorless bodies with great AF are the a9, a9II, a9III, a1, a1II and a7rV.
I was disappointed comparing my a7rIV to my 2 years older D850. The gap btwn hype and reality was significant.
Older Sony lenses are also slower focusing. The original 85mm f1.4 was very slow for example. This has been fixed with the mkII.

That is a coincidence. I was also comparing it to the D850, and my experience was similar. The A7R III just did not live up to expectations, so I will likely be returning it.
If you come from a D850 you’d be better off with a second hand Z8.
