An old image that haven't been processed for years. It was quite noisy (I wanted to retain the stars instead of star trails) and the church on the hill was really bright so dynamic range was a big issue, I do wish I had better gear there 
(lower noise, faster lens), and better skills
Mount Kazbek, Georgia
D610 @iso800 + AFS 24-85 kit lens.
Another forgotten image (many still unprocessed) from the same trip
Yerevan, Armenia
D610 @iso 250 + AFS 24-85 VR kit lens @f6.3 (keep shutter speed not too slow to prevent the moon from becoming too blur)

Love these. Change in bokeh from 1.4 - 2.8 - 5.0 is informative. No surprise for the first 2, but f5 bokeh is surprisingly still pleasant. I may prefer that for this subject.

Thanks Luka The 58G has so much personality. Of course this is close and again the lens behaves differently mid to far distances.

Charles,
Yes. I totally agree that change of characteristics for close to mid to far. Luckily for me, I love the rendering for all. Challenge is that my focus is tuned for about 2 - 3 meters. Which does not work in long distance. I need to remember that when shooting landscape.
Here with 58G

I have been re calibrating my 58G this afternoon with Reikan FoCal software. I have opted for this method as the 58G can be quirky to calibrate. The FoCal software worked really well and I could then visualize the spread of the all the data points and see how the lens performed.

Charles,
I just looked up Reikan Focal software. Interesting stuff. You use the 150mm target ? It is very true that 58's rendering of smooth focal transition makes the calibration probably harder than other lenses.

This one with 4/300 PF and D810
