Cons: Focus sometimes unreliable, a little soft on closer distances; lens hood is realy wobbly and cheap.
Opinion: For me, it is very special lens - perfect for portraiture, even for other purposes as well.
After mastering the lens, the results are amazing. This lens makes photos almost as these made with medium format.
Sharpness is very good, altough not excellent. But that is not the point of this lens, it is rendering and 3d look that image offers.
Colors are very nice, neutral to warm, depending on conditions.
In final, image quality is very unique, I do not see any lens renders like 58G.
It is very light lens, but also with huge diameter (72mm).
Build quality; it could be a little better, but it is also subjective, since lens is very light, so it also feels like a little cheap.
Highly reccomended for those who looks for classic image look, not modern sterile (only sharp) characteristics.

Pros:bokeh and blurred to say the least incredible, versatility, lightness
Cons:Autofocus not really fast, price
Opinion:With this lens I had a particular relationship, using it for weddings, at the beginning I had a bit of a hard time getting used to the autofocus (used to using the Nikon 85 1.4G). Compared to the 85 it is certainly less rapid and slightly less precise, but once you take the hand, this lens has given me incredible satisfaction. I am literally in love with the almost magical effect that the photos taken at full aperture have, the blur and bokeh are incredible. The focal length is really versatile, you can use it for almost everything.
Opinion:Purchased used in a well-known photography store for 850 euros in September 2022. I find it a really good lens, it has magical colors and a very nice bokeh even if I'm not a lover of focal lengths around 50mm. Compared to the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50 mm f / 1.4G the quality is higher but I would advise people to take used the fifty that is around € 250 and keep the other money in your pocket (in my case it would have been 600 euros). There are not many specimens around like the 50 1.4, which is why the price used remains high. If one has no budget or is a beginner with that money you make one or two used optics. If instead one has a budget go directly to the 58 that will make you make an extra leap in the quality of the photos you will take. Pros: Versatile optics, can be used both in portraits and in some landscape photos. Really beautiful colors and bokeh that drives me crazy. I took the same portrait of a model in a park with the 105, 85 and 58 and among the three I like the bokeh on the trees of 58 because the bokeh on the leaves is composed of circles and not completely blurred as for the other two. Against the price especially if you buy it new. I use it on z6 and I have no calibration problems, I will also try it on the d750 to see if it suffers from any back/front focus. SCORE: 9/9+
Pros:Excellent in all respects! It has unique colors!
Cons:nothing!
Opinion:When I took it at a price not really cheap I knew from the reviews read that it would be a great optics! I use it on DF and I can say that it is an exceptional lens, especially in the evening or in environments with little light.. I love shooting with little light, and this lens seems to be born for shots of this kind!!! I agree with Lupaccio who reviewed this lens long before me, when he says nikon put a brush in the hands of photographers... his colors are unparalleled... is not as sharp as other 1.4 optics.. but when I print the photos the owner of the laboratory always says that they are particular colors and nothing and excessive ... the light, the colors of the skin, in short and a particular optics that must be used and understood! And then he doesn't give up, they tell me that 35 1.4 and on the same line... ok as soon as I find a great used....
Opinion:Perhaps I was lucky: the specimen in my possession has no problems with focus or consistency of yield with both the D3x and the D750. Usually the optics so bright are fine especially to make portraits, instead with fifty-eight I made different landscapes with some satisfaction. It was a impulse purchase, but it convinced me right away. As much as I am a short optics adept, I feel very good with the narrowest angle of field of this lens. One curious thing is that in the backlight it overexposes, unlike all the others. On the contrary, I very rarely have to make exposure compensation. I really like the somewhat pastel colors that he returns, contrary to what I read is not even too ply of details. It is very versatile: if you want to make portraits at full opening you do it, if you want to make landscape with much more closed diaphragms he does not say no and adapts. One of those goals to keep always attached to the REFLEX, too bad that even used has its cost: but it is certainly worth the expense. Update 31 May 2021: at full opening it sometimes becomes a bit inaccurate as a focus, even with good AF modules such as that of the D3x and the D750. At that point, button on the left, you turn off the autofocus, and proceed with manual focus. Another thing this lens continues to amaze me for is the three-dimensionality of the images, one of its most beautiful features.
