I Otused, as part of a retirement self-gifting. I had planned to buy a super-telephoto, for birds, but was still healing from a left rotator cuff injury, which can take some timer, so would not be shooting hand-held with long lenses, for a while. I was really enjoying the focus accuracy of my then-new D5, with my other manual-focus lenses, so turned my attention to the Otus and Milvus lines. I already had 28mm to 60mm well-covered, by other favored prime lenses, including an excellent Nikkor 28/1.4E.
Plus, I was developing an interest in trying short telephoto landscapes, and found some images, on-line, of landscapes shot with the Otus 85mm. I did not yet have a D850, but reckoned I would add one, sooner or later. So, when I Otused, it was the 1,4/85mm ZF.2, for Nikon mount.
Of course, a 28mm lens nicely complements an 85mm lens, so, well, I may start dreaming of an Otus 28mm, someday.
