I just picked mine up and took a few snapshots on my way home. All taken around noon so light was not exactly ideal but I just wanted to test a few things so not really good pictures, more of test shots.

Are you saying Nikon has put f/1.3 has an intermediate stop between f/1.2 and f/1:4? If so that’s very interesting. Usually f/1.3 is skipped over in the aperture series as most manufacturers use f/1.2 to denote the third stop down from f/1.4. If using f/1.3 as the third stop, are they only using f/1.2 as roughly 1/6 stop faster than that? (I.e, a true half stop?)
Usuallly f/1.2 can be used in either half stop or third stop increments, but if f/1.3 is used for third stops, then f/1.1 is usually used for another third stop down. Since the third stop in reality is f/1.25, generally it’s just picked between the two rather than having both present.
I do see f/1.3 appear occasionally if using a manual aperture f/1.2 lens with contacts, but those appear to relay 1/6 stops to the camera. (So you can also get d/1.5 and f/1.7 to appear between f/1.4 and f/1.6, etc)

Aww man, those last couple are really perking up my interest. I was going to bench the idea of this lens for a while, but like the 85/1.2 and the Plena, I may jump in sooner than later.
Two things that strike me the most. Bokeh is really smooth, much more so than what I use to with 35mm. The smoothest bokeh for a 35mm wide opened that I ever own but the only other 35/1.2 I have is an older version of Voiglander 35/1.2 M mount. Zeiss ZM is my favourite 35mm before 35/1.2S arrived and beside size and weight, I don't miss the Zeiss at all. Also I could not elicit any flare out of this lens no matter where the sun is in the frame or just off frame.

Just picked mine up so did some messing around at home - purely test shots as the weather is crap at the moment. I really like the colors and rendering - the files are all pleasing to look at

i hate using this trope, but it really does have some of that medium format look to it.
I disagree. There really aren’t any medium format cameras that can go this shallow at this angle of view. The “medium format look” I’ve found is predominantly bunk. When I shoot film I shoot 6x6 medium format, and it has its own charms, but there’s really nothing in the images that I really can’t get from any full frame digital system since the lenses are correspondingly faster. My wide lens is, for instance, a 55mm f/4.5, which is roughly equivalent in depth of field and angle of view to a 30mm f/2.5.
