The combination of sharpness and bokeh wide open is the best I have seen in any lens so far, clearly out doing the Noct, 200mm f2.0 VR, 400mm f2.8 S TC and even 85mm f1.2 S. The only lens I have used that may be even better is the P1 Schneider Blue Ring 150mm f2.8 LS.
Nikon has come up with an absolute wonder of a lens.

These are F'ing amazing... I'm looking forward to seeing some night portraits from the streets of Japan and Thailand, as these narrow streets are often filled with colorful lighting. The Plena seems like the portrait shooter's equivalent to the wildlife shooter's long awaited 600PF... a dream lens that increases the opportunity to match one's vision to a realistic outcome.

Thanks Bruce! I know you were speaking about the lens rendering but thanks nonetheless.
Cheers,
Bernard
Your photos are lovely Bernard,... It's not just the lens, it's the photographer who see where to point that lens
