. Rendering wise, would you say it is closer to 58? 28 - 58 isn’t a bad pair?? Heha. It is actually my own on-going question. I do not have an AF prime in this range, and thinking either 1.8/24, 1.8/28 for traveling. 14-24, 24-70 are just too big for a certain trip.

Thanks
The 28/1.4D is a superb lens and beautiful rendering. Outside of this zone the lens is unique but for streets I don't think it is well suited as the 28/1.4E would or 28/1.8G. I really like the 28 FOV so next stop maybe the 28/1.8G

I have been looking for a 28mm FOV lens and I came across today a 28/1.4D locally. So I decided to try it out and get a feel on the D850. I have always loved the older style renderings. I did try it out alongside the 58G and I decided to keep with my 24 and 35 Art lenses instead. The 28/1.4D is a superb lens but I feel I would have limited usage in the streets. .

WOW Don! All 3 are fantastic! The 135/2 APO shot looks like it was taken with a Macro. The last one is my favorite with the exceptional bokeh. Such rich and vibrant colors with excellent compositions. Big thumbs up!
