Hare are a few links on the Neo-Noct
Interview with the designer, optics maestro Haruo Sato [google does an adequate translation] https://www.nikon-image.com/enjoy/life/works/2013/1310/index.html?fbclid=IwAR1maJxILsDP4cf47tkZVLuFkSQ83UQoE_DIroYGPvzAEQ2eGpNXTTARSXg

"...I also really love the 58mm f1.4, my ‘warrior’ lens – it’s very expensive, but very high performance, and with the D810 it’s a great combination...My 58mm lens has made me several million dollars of sales" https://davidyarrow.photography/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Digital-Photographer-2015-dec.pdf

For those of us who treasure the Neo-Noct, it is interesting to read the Lenstip review of the 58 f1.4G, in the summary of which the author quoted the official commentary at its release, in what was construed as a comical conclusion to the poor scores awarded (!) to quote: "It seems, though, that only Zeiss was serious about it and Nikon was joking all along, trying to sell you a rough piece of trash for a lot of money under a cover of a storied Nikon legacy. I really don’t intend to torture the tested Nikkor any longer because it is not worth the time and trouble. However, in order to finish this test with a comical accent let me quote the words of one of Nikon company representatives, published on the day of the launch as the official press release." https://www.lenstip.com/397.11-Lens_review-Nikon_Nikkor_AF-S_58_mm_f_1.4G_Summary.html
