Great photos again Charles, while the 50/1.2 is not bad, the 58G has a much smoother painting like finish. You can printed large hang it on the wall and tell people it's a work of art!
Thank you Ivan Yes the 58G is wonderful lens and so much fun to play with

Why did I switch to a Canon system...
Canon has some awesome lenses too, as I still love the 85L II and 50L The new 50/1.2 does looks like an amazing lens and has thrown the gauntlet for Nikon and Sony to catch up.
The Canon 35 looks fantastic. Always appreciated the rendering of the Nikon 35 1.4 but it probably hasn’t held up on more modern sensors.
Would like to know now the rendering is on the new Nikon Z.

Long time Corey, how goes it? How are the kids? Any more trips coming up & beer shots?
I did contemplate on getting rid of the 85L IS for the 50 but not sure If that's a good idea.
I have a 90mm macro if I ever need the reach tho so maybe it wouldn't be so bad...
I use my 35L II for pretty much everything these days...

You mean the 58G or the 35G? I have both, and rendering on the Z6 is just as beautiful as on the D600 (same resolution), with the added bonus of being able to focus more accurately.
The 35G - it’s not a lens that seems to get a lot of love.

Wrongly so IMHO. You're right, it doesn't, especially since the Sigma Art entered the scene. If you use the forum search, you should come across more than one thread debating which of the two lenses to get. There's also an image thread with some samples photos.
I had the Sigma Art, didn't use it very much (I just couldn't warm up to its rendering), then got the 35G and sold the Art. It's my second-to-most used prime lens (most used is the 58G, but for paid stuff I don't have the permission to post). It has rather strong CA (easily correctable) and is maybe not as clinically sharp as the Sigma, but for a 35mm it has fabulous bokeh and it's very sharp wide open in close-up shots. Capable of producing a beautiful 3D-like look-in the image thread there's an interesting comparison shot with the 58G showing this aspect.
Sorry for the OT, at least the 58G was mentioned several times in this post...

Nothing special, just a quick shot of my wife to test a few edits in post. Shot at f/2 on my Z6 with a Flashpoint speed light fired through a Glow Hexapop 20.

Yeah, definitely. It's one of those lenses that you forgive blur and CA.. I also like the colors on my D810. A very good basis for further processing.
Yes the 58G is wonderful lens and so much fun to play with
