You can get (beyond) infinity focus if you attach a Sony lens on an EOS/EF body straight.

You see, I recently purchased a Nikon 85/2.8 PC. Mounting it on my 7D will be great but if I could mount it on my A33 I'd have both AS and a flip screen.

If your lens is a new PC-E type lens, then you can't adapt it to any mount because the aperture control is electronic. And I'm pretty sure even the previous iteration of this lens had the same electronic aperture control. The aperture ring on the lens is an electronically coupled one, just like it is with the Contax 645 lenses. Also why did you get a Nikon 85 when Canon has an excellent TS-E 90 2.8 without any of these problems? The Canon also has the advantage of being home-adjustable for tilt vs. shift orientation whereas the Nikon needs to be sent to a Nikon service center due to the way the electronics are fitted inside.
