I do agree. Get the general look that you want out of camera. Trying to recreate in post is not the type of photography that many of us want to do or have the time for. The one thing I remember when meeting PTO photographer Moose Peterson was to strive to get the photo correct from the camera to minimize your time in front of the computer. Looking forward to more info on your adaptor testing journey. Will certainly save me some time when I search. Keep up the good work.

Okay... I own both of these lenses. And have done paid gigs with both. I'm going to pause the video at 0:37 and just say that straight away the AI-S 50mm 1.2 is an acquired taste.... and I like it. My customers love it... Its not super sharp wide open, but i don't care about that. I've shot plenty of paid gigs with it ( think sweetheart after ceremony wedding portraits) my 2nd most popular lens in that category is the Laowa 35mm f/0.95... however when It comes to video, the Z 1.4f is amazing. It gives that vintage character people are looking for. Something unique. Basically at the end of the day they are tools in your tool bag. Use them wisely and make sure you get feedback from the people paying your bills. Those are your most important critiques. I personally prefer the 35mm f/0.95 and its a close tie with the Nikon 50mm f/1.2... now I'm going to watch the rest of the video and perhaps eat my words.

Well done once again! Now I know that the 50mm 1.4 Z is not for me! That is a relief, as I already own the 50mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.2 Z. The Bokeh of the 1.2 Z and the rendering-very sharp and organic at the same time-beats the 1.4. The problem with the 50 1.2 Z is the size/weight, now that I am already lugging the Plena around the city centres. I like the look of the vintage Nikkor, but I don't like adapters and I think Voigtländer has many very nice MF lenses with better rendering (Swirly and dreamy wide open but very sharp when stopped down more than F4). They are better for street because you can change to "very sharp" by changing the aperture, not the lens!

With AF but manual focus ring override, aperture ring with satisfying clicks but also declickable (then appealing to the videographers wanting less perfect lenses, but also having AF for run and gun).... but that design language doesn't seem to be part of Nikon's roadmap, so I guess the best we can hope for is third party solutions for older Nikon glass.

I think you are mixing 2 lenses up. AF-S and G is 58/1.4. AI and AI-s 58 is 1.2. I have 58/1.4G on FTZ on Zf and on GFX50S. Great lens.

Voigtlander 50 F1 with Z mount. Sometimes you really just need to pay to play 😅

You’re right of course, there’s just too much good vintage glass to try. I love my voigtlanders on M mount!
