Guys, do you know of a cheaper alternative to this lens? it could even be manual focus. I'm really interested in the extra 8mm of compression and the smoothness of the bokeh, but I just don't see myself spending $1600 for a single 50mm-esque lens. Not that I don't think it's worth it, but the value proposition for me is not there.
Sigma 50 1.4 EX (not ART) I had it and it was close but traded it in for the 58 Nik.

Re-calibrated my 58G with Reikan FoCal. Spot-on @1.4
At what distance from the target did you do the calibration? I have the software but not 100% sure how to use for best results
cant make it work at 1.4 guys, remains very soft at mfd and infinity. tried manual af tune, dot tune method... shall i try focal before sending it with df body to nikon service for finetuning? thx
My three favorite shots from our photoshoot last week for our youtube channel, Salina was very easy to work with. 58mm 1.4G was used on the D500, and for some reason, its so sharp wide open!
Third pic shows Salina in front of Latte Stones (latte stones is unique to the Marianas), all pictures taken on Guam.
