This lens really confuses me. In many of the images here I love the bokeh and find the focus point plenty sharp enough. In others, I find the out of focus background to be unpleasant/nervous, and the lens really really soft. Is that just how the lens is -- wildly different character depending upon subject & distance to background? Or are some copies much better than others? Or...
The 58G is a speciality lens, f/1.4 and the smallest/lightest FF 58mm lens out there. It is not for everyone but it is superb if you take the time to calibrate and understand its unique rendering qualities. This lens will take some time to learn its rendering styles and it how best suits. Now if the lens is not sharp enough the 50 Art another superb lens but I rarely use it.
Fast lenses have unique styles wide open particularly the more classic and older lenses. This is why they are special and photographers gravitate to them
