Pros: Excellent allrounder. Sharp. Close focus. Well corrected (distortion, CA, etc.). Insensitive to flare. Perfect manufacturing and handling. Ideal focal length (see explanations).
Cons: Bokeh could be better (tends to be nervous on stopping down). Low contrast wide open. Some coma at f/1.4-f/2.0.
Opinion: For those who can live without autofocus, this is probably the perfect lens. For those who prefer manual focus, you'll be delighted by the focus throw and action. The "odd" focal length makes it more usable if portraits are part of the menu; as a matter of fact, a 28 + 58 tandem may be all you need when in town. Those extra 8mm make a huge difference, while still allowing "general purpose" photography. Besides (and this is a nice coincidence), the combination of Nikon Df + magnifying eyepiece DK-17M + this lens allows to shoot with both eyes open; the viewfinder will just put a frame around what you see.
I could not fault this lens except coma-wise, where you have to stop down to f/2.8 to get rid of it. Close focus (1:5.8) is a bonus, but you'll have to stop down to typically f/5.6 to get a sharp subject when at minimum focus distance - this is quite normal behaviour. At wider apertures, the close focus pics will look "dreamy", similar to the Nikkor 50/1.2 wide open (that would be dreamy at all distances though).

Opinion:I do not understand those who report the manual focus as a defect. It is not a defect and the characteristic of this optics. buy an autofocus lens!!!!! ................................................................... ............................. .............................................. ............................................. ..........................
Pros:Construction, size and weight content, blurred, sharpening, color rendering, contacts for confirmation af and exif data (Nikon F version), quality/price
Cons:If it had the af would be more usable to ta even on moving subjects, purple fringing a ta, missing diaphragm block.
Opinion:For the low expense, really a lot of surrender. With this lens you have a blurry yield and a scary floor detachment for a 58mm, with the advantage of greater versatility even in portrait than a higher focal. The sharpness in the center is very good already at ta, chuudendo of a stop becomes a blade in the center and very good at the edges. The construction is excellent and the maf dial has a run perfetta.su quite static subjects you can safely focus even with the help of the maf confirmation ball. On moving subjects, at a close range... It takes handle and luck. Overall a great lens at a great price.
Pros:weight, blur, distortion, price, brightness, great construction.
Cons:manual focus
Opinion:The price is very attractive, but unfortunately there is a lack of autofocus, cmq in a nikon car can easily be shot without using the loudspeaker. Focus confirmation dot, however, remains a manual lens. The chromatic yield is definitely good.
