Would you consider the cv 40mm1.2 the wider version of the 58mm 1.4G in term of rendering? I love my 58 1.4G on the Z6 but sometimes it's a bit long and I am looking for a wider version. I have the 24mm 1.4G but it's a bit heavy and too wide. I was looking at the 35mm 1.4 Z,while looking decent, it doesn't have the same rendering as the 58mm 1.4G. I also don't like any of the 35mm 1.8 Z lenses.
Absolutely. It has many of the same character traits but is amazing wide open. The 58 and the 40 1.2 are easily my favorite lenses on my Zf. The 50 1.4 Z is capable of getting pretty close to the 58 when its shot wide open. I consider the 35 1.8Z without any soul and the 35 1.4 weak wide open and somewhat meh. You will be happy with the 40 1.2. The amount of creative control from this lens is remarkable. I just think 40 is just right. The 40/58 give you the sweet spot of a lot of good photography.
