Klaus,
In the summary, you say: "Unlike its cousin - the Zeiss ZF/ZE 85mm f/1.4 - it shows a very snappy contrast at f/1.4 and the close focus performance is superior as well."
Why should the Sony version be better than the Canon or Nikon version of the same lens?

It is not the same lens - just to mention the most obvious difference:
ZA: 8 elements in 7 groups
ZE/ZF: 6 elements in 5 groups
