question
I purchased this lens a few years ago. I want a sony a7ii. I also have canon 85mm 1.8.Will this lenses have fast af with the Metabones adaptor? Or should I get the sigma adaptor?
While Metabones does mention that their MB_EF-E-BT5 adapter offers fast autofocus on the A7 II, this particular lens is not listed as being tested with this adapter. However, the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM has been tested.

question
Does this work with an Ursa Mini? Would any of the electronics work?
On the EF mount URSA Mini there is push-button AF that works with Canon lenses. It should work with this lens as well. Camera controlled aperture and metadata is expected to work as well.

question
Would this lens work with a Mitakon Zhongyi turbo II lens adapter attached to a Blackmagic pocket cinema camera? Can I control the focus, and the aperture? Thanks.
I am not familiar that camera or lens adapter so I cannot speak to that. However, the lens does provide manual focus control. My experience on my full-frame and APS-C DSLRs has been great and I would recommend this lens to any still photographer.

question
Which way does this lens zoom- the same direction as Canon lenses, or opposite?
It zoom extending out as the Canon does. No problems with filters as it does not rotate. Extended it will be shorter than Canon one.

Will this lens work with my Nikon D5500
No! THIS lens is for Canon cameras! I believe that Sigma also makes lenses that will work on your Nikon.

question
Will the AF on lens work on a Sony a7II with an adapter?
The Sigma MC-11 Mount Converter/Lens Adapter (Sigma EF-Mount Lenses to Sony E), B&H # SIMC11C, or the Metabones T Smart Adapter Mark IV for Canon EF or Canon EF-S Mount Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera, B&H # MEEFEBT4, to connect the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 IF EX DG HSM Autofocus Lens for Canon EOS to the Sony Alpha a7 II Mirrorless Digital Camera. Both adapters would retain all electronic communication between the camera and lens, including autofocus.

question
is it as good as the canon 24-70 i shoot motor sports need the wide for night and this is much cheaper ?
Sigma 24-70 is a great lense for portraits and is great with low lighting. As far as using it for action shots, I haven't had the best experience. I've had some trouble during weddings where there's a lot going on. Another good lense for low lighting is the canon 50 mm f1.8 prime lense, but you would loose width. Prime lenses offer a great quality. Maybe looking into 25 mm would help you out. Overall, it's a great lense, at a great price but not for action shots.
