Must try

This is the absolute finest piece of glass available for Nikon that I have found after having the Zeiss Otus 55mm and Nikkor 50mm 1.8s(on z6ii). Images from this simply stand out on my D4S. Good luck finding a sharper lens, my files at 16mp look outstanding and I feel no need to go to my higher resolution body. AF is fast and the bokeh is elite, buy it now and start seeing what pro glass is about. This is the Otus with AF and maybe a little CA wide open which can be cleaned.

Absolutely a five star lens!!

The auto focus is excellent, the colors are terrific, the edge to edge sharpness is great. Very happy with all aspects of this lens (even the weight is balanced) on my D850 with a grip. The Tokina 50mm F 1.4 Opera and the new Tamron 35mm F 1.4 are the two lenses that I use daily.
