To me, it seems, using the adapter and using lenses constructed for a
larger register distance is the key for proper imagequality in corners on a
body like the nex-7. That said, a user of the nex-7 is likely one who wants
(and pays) more portability. So, the 85/1.4 is likely not the most obvious
choice anyway, nevertheless, it's certainly a "benchmark lens".
Just my thoughts ... Rainer

Not really (the first part). With such focal lengths (85mm) it will not make much of a difference whether the lens is designed for A-mount or E-mount. Only with focal lengths which are short, and demand a different, bigger design for a bigger flange distance, you would see real differences.
