Before theorizing on this lens, I would urge everyone to see the below image set from this lens.
This lens has about the creamiest bokeh of any normal lens. It is absolute butter. And like all N coated Nikkors, color/contrast is extremely high, something that these kinds of “tests” don’t always tell you.
Clearly for professionals wedding shooters, portraitists, and general shooting, this lens is a no-brainer.
Anyway, in case you haven’t seen these, have a look at this set of 58 f/1.4G images from Joe Marquez that he made in Hawaii. Lots of wide open portraits made in this set, and they look terrific.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work. I also do Video Editing.
