The only reason I want a 58 1.4g is because it pairs nicely with the 105e focal length. I actually get bits of ocd when I see softer 58g shots. I think I will probably hold tight to me sigma 50 though.

Very, very bad decision... You WILL be spoiled by the 105E, which will make you hate the 58G. I already foresee that.
I'm still debating on whether to eventually get the 58. I know I want the 105 eventually. Having the 200 F2 already, I can wait a while. My biggest reason for wanting it is so I can leave the heavy 200 F2 at home sometimes. Depending on locations. The 58 is an awesome lens, it's just that we shoot 95% outdoors and even when outside, 90% of the time or more I would be able to get back far enough with the 105. So trying to justify the 58 purchase. Not sure if I will need it. Even though I love the images I see with it.
Those samples look amazing. However, I do see the huge difference between the 105 and 200 focal length, these shots helped me decide I definitely eventually want this lens, but that I need to keep my 200 still.
Why keep the 200? What are you both seeing? Im seeing modern performing fast telephoto. Bokeh isnt blowing my mind but the one natural setting shot really shows you the subject isolation.
What I'm seeing is that the 105 1.4 aint no 200 f/2. Not close.
However, the shooter didn't play much with backgrounds and a lot of these look like simple snapshots.
If you don't compose well, even the 200 f/2 can give mediocre results.
