I have three 'M' mount Biogons, including the 21mm purchased for my 'M' mount film cameras, but none of them work well on my Sonys. I believe this is greatly do to the thick sensor cover glass. They just fall apart peripherally and require small apertures to be more acceptable. They do perform better on cameras with a thinner cover glass, such as the Leicas. I've only owned Fuji X100 series cameras, so not sure, but you might get some idea by comparing cover glass thickness to Leica. That said, they should also work better than with the Sony FF, because of the smaller Fuji sensor size.
