Wellcome !! That is a great lens , it will surprise you. The Sony 50 1,4 you will love too . I would ad a cz 85 . These 3 are the ones I use most .

For light travel I take a minolta af 28 -135 , great too.
I had the cz 24-70 but for me it's so heavy I changed to days after buying for the cz 85 and the Sony 50. If you can do that at your store , try it first if you worry about weight


Cheers

forgive me if i was speedreading and missed it... but the original question was about Nikon MF lenses on a FF Sony... then everybody started talking bout everything but Nikon lenses.

Can I use a manual Nikkor on a Sony with a simple adapter or not ?

thanks

Yes, but you need an adapter with a glass element to achieve infinity focus, which means degraded lens quality and expensive adapter.

Only with an adapter that has an optical element. You could always remove the element if you don't need infinity focus.
