Exactly my thinking, Stoffer. I've become a bit of a whiz at the old MF magnify and shoot caper, even if I do say so myself. So if the focus ring works good it's a potential goer with a cheap adapter. I hate all the AF business, firmware etc. Not my go.
Now, for anyone who wants to know about this lens, see any of Charles work at the dedicated lens image thread over at the N forum. And I found a great review from a guy who actually knows something - rare outside these walls, lol. He says this about the focus ring:
'The focus ring feels really nice and smooth. Not anything close to the incredible focus ring of Nikon’s Noct-Nikkor 58 1.2 from the 70′s, but it’s still fantastic.'

There is a great expose of skin color between the top Japanese 50s, verifies what I already thought of Canon and Sigma color. The 58G would go very well on the Sony sensors I feel. [Yes, there are many adapters for the Nikons, and the later ones are good for AF.]
PS sorry to hijack this thread somewhat.
