the 85mm 1.4G owners who don't own a 58mm 1.4G probably won't blink.
they realize that they have a true stallion of a lens, at a reasonable price, in an insane light weight package for an 85 1.4.
if they own a 58G, they may sell the 85G b/c (to some) the two are close enough to warrant a shake in the bag (which is why I sold my 85 last month).
If I only had the money, I would sell my 85 1.8G and get the 58....

Paying double for a lesser performing lens with poor build quality because it has 'Nikon' on it would depress me. I'm not a snob though and buy the best tool for the job to take pictures.
There are better quality cheaper priced after market parts for almost all cars. Do I put genuine mazda brake pads on my car? No, because many brands outperform them for half the price because they don't have OEM tax added.
