Four F Low Dispersion (FLD) elements and one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element are featured in the optical design, and help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy.
One aspherical element is used to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations and also contributes to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.

If I use it with Nikon Z 6 full frame, do I get 8-16mm exactly?
Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC ids is designed for F-Mount Lens/DX Format. The nikon Z6 is FX format.
The Z6 has a larger sensor and will cover entire image of the lens. The adapter only makes up for the longer flange diference of the F-Mount.

Is there any way to improvise the attachment of a circular polarizer filter on such a 'buxom' front element?
Yes. On ultra wide lenses you need a filter holder system that is contoured to the exact shape of the built in hood. For this particular lens consider

question
How does this lens work with MC-11/A6500 in terms of stills?
You can use the Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens for Select Canon EOS SLRs on the Sony a6500 with an adapter. We normally recommend a Metabones adapter, that we know works and is supported by the adapter manufacturer. Using the Sigma adapter with a non-Sigma lens is not supported. That means if it doesn't work or is damaged, Sigma is not liable. That being said, penalty of people use the MC-11 with non-Sigma lenses with no ill-effects.
