I bought my 58 used on eBay for about $850. It was in almost new condition and I have no regrets.

Fantastic photos

I was wondering, would FTZ adapter make this lens MFD even shorter?

No. Exact distance to sensor has to stay same as DSLR, otherwise no infinity focus possible

If you like the look, this is a great price. I paid nearly $700 to have mine repaired when my bag unzipped and it fell to concrete 4 years ago.

Great photos. Amazing colors on these. Is this some preset or special pp done?

Thank you! Both images were edited differently but I've boosted the colours in both images a tad. I usually use the colour calibration sliders in LR as my main way to boost colours and adjust the colour grading. I did a very small bump up in warmth for the highlights and shadows in the closer up image of my wife but that's not something I do very often. In general, I find the 58mm f1.4g to produce excellent colours (and Hawaii doesn't hurt!), and that's one of the reasons I will hang on to this lens for a very long time.

Something different. Sorry, yes, it is a months late. PP clogging. Somehow, hard to keep pace.
Some random Halloween decoration shot.

Anyone has this lens on Zf? Can you share a photo of it? I would like to see how it looks with adapter on Zf.

Thank you so much, that looks pretty good, I was wondering how this will look on that body, would adapter be extend the lens in a weird way, but looks good.
How does it feel when handling? Do you feel huge front weight or is it not too bad? Similar to longer Z lens?
Also, most important question, do you like the results from this combo? Does this lens perform well on Zf? What is your opinion?

It is actually perfectly balanced in my opinion. With the FTZ as the center point, the camera end is slightly heavier. The combo never feels front heavy. This is without the aftermarket grip.

The results are great, I’m really liking the output from the Zf with everything I throw on it.

Thats great news for me. Sounds like its worth buying this lens for Zf. I would go used of course.

Do you have some gallery with photos from this combo?
