But then again.. I recently "discovered" Nikkor 58/1.4 G and I simply fall in love instantly. Rendering from this prime is most pleasing to my eyes, I've ever seen so far (and I've seen quite a lot). This lens is what starts me thinking about switching to Nikon for real.

That is my favourite lens ever. I used it on a D700. I had ready a whole thread about it on FredMiranda forum and Photography Life's review, and fell in love as well. Sold 2 lenses to get that one.

Unfortunately I sold it later to fund my entry into the Sony mirrorless system, which I deeply regret. I could be using Nikon Z right now if I kept that lens with me. I made incredible photos of my baby son back then, with a look that I haven't been able to re-create ever since with any other lens.

Yeah, I think I know what You mean. Nikon 58/1.4 has absolutely superb 3D pop rendering and most beautiful bokeh I've ever seen. Even lenses like GFX 80/1.7 are not so much pleasing in rendering (for me at least), because they give modern look, where is Nikon 58/1.4 gives so much organic look in images, from what I've seen so far from sample images on flicker. Like I said, this is one lens only, for what I'm thinking to sell my Fuji gear and switch to Nikon

Can You give me link to FM forum with thread you mentioned? Thx in advice, and sorry for OT!
