One of the lenses that impresses me by it's rendering is the Nikon 60/2.8 AF-S micro. No, I don't have one and I've never tried one. But looking at other people's shots make me think it's approaching a "poor man's Zeiss", and it's got AF.
When I am intrigued by a particular lens I like to browse Flicker, look for a group dedicated to a particular lens and look at dozens of shots so I can get a feel for it's bokeh, rendering, etc. Yeah, I know they have been tweaked in post, but it's better than nothing. I can get a feel for "I like what I see so far" versus "Yuk". When I browse shots for the Nikon 60/2.8 I like what I see. It's not going to have the same depth of field as a 1.4, but what's out of focus is nicely out of focus, and reminds me of Zeiss.

The main reason I haven't gotten one is Rockwell's page indicates a lot of vignetting, but someday I'll probably pick up a used one and play with it.
