Anyone using this lens on a D500? An effective FL of 87/f1.4 would be interesting. I've searched thread for "D500" but only found two posts. Thanks.

John

Having a small issue with MacOS, which seems not to be respecting image colour profiles...
Lightroom, Photoshop and Firefox seem fine, but Safari and the rest of MacOS seems to crush the blacks a bit.

The third image should show a little texture in the wall and paving
Looks exactly like the OS is applying monitor color onto every image.

D810 and 58mm are a bit overkill for a for sale ad, but oh well.

the 58's character is better displayed on full frame. outer edges of the frame get cropped out by the aps-c sensor.

Biting my tongue reading this thread. Just feels like an argument waiting to happen.

Guess I'm a happy fool shooting landscapes...

Thank you!

Over time I've tried two other 58Gs, and they all were pretty much exactly like mine... I've had my fair share of 50mm lenses, but I don't get the where the "sub-par" and the hate comes from.

Shot my first wedding with the 58G last weekend, very reminiscent of using the 50L.

Spectacular! Rendering is just lovely. I have (and love) the Sigma 50 ART - while very sharp, it renders people differently. I see why this 58 is such a good people lens. Thank you.

Love these. I've seen your Flickr but never realized so many of these were at 1.4.

Pretty damn cool, indeed.

Thank you.
The majority are at f/1.4 but I'm often using other apertures... these were at f/5.6.
