Is it a worth AF 50mm for Nikon F bayonet or kinda like "it gets sharp from f2 onwards..."?

I took some of my favorite photos with that lens. You can check out my 50mm f/1.4G gallery and see what you think. I really enjoyed that lens. It's not pin-sharp at f/1.4, but sharp enough. I was shooting it on the D600, D610 and D750. I've also tried it adapted to the Z8 and it's pretty good, but of course not as good as the Z 50mm f/1.8 S.

I found one for a couple hundred bucks and thinking to give it a try, I love 50 and 85 millimeter focal lengths, I got a beautiful 58G and the 60G on F mount and the 50/1.8S on the Z mount besides a manual focus 50/1.7 Contax and an f2 Nikkor Auto which I either adapt on the Z or use on Nikon film cameras but always been looking for an AF substitute.

Never read wonders about the f1.4G but I like your gallery, I am biased because there is a lot of animals, vegetation and wings so I am not objective into evaluating the pictures ;-) but it could be a compact and native solution for my D8xx and Fxx bodies.

Thank you

I like the 50/1.8 AF-S over the 1.4.
