Which system is better for normal and tele M lenses for critical focus? Nikon ZF, Sony E-mount or Leica SL.

I had the Zf for a bit.  Also had the techart adapter for Z.  Frankly I was not impressed with the weight and performance was subpar.  

Using the Zf with the eye detect magnification worked very well with just a normal M adapter, however I found the ergonomics of the Zf not great, the placement of the magnification button rather uncomfortable.  The Evf is decent.

In the end shooting M glass on my Sl2-s is a far superior experience.  

After selling my Zf I bought the sony a7cii - since Evf is shit I tried M glass on it once and have since given up.  

For me M glass will stay primarily on my M body or on my Sl2s.

Techart adapter on Sony I can't speak for, but after my Nikon experience I will not even give it a try unless someone lends it to me.

Note that the techart is hefty, iirc ~350g, that plus a summilux lens puts this whole thing in the SL Apo prime weight range.
