Retow, Love that last shot. I have the new Nikon 58/1.4; it's not the Noct Nikkor, but it renders beautifully. I studied samples from it and they reminded me a lot of the Zeiss C Sonnar 50mm I love so much. Demo'ed it and indeed it's close. Not the exact same rendering, but very close. Just beautiful, especially for people shots. I am simply loving the B&W conversions I'm getting from the Df. There is something immensely satisfying about them. It's been years since I shot with a FF camera, and it's nice to have one again. Realized how much I miss the DoF options, particularly with people shots.
For me at this point these are just tools and each one is unique and has a purpose. For most of my my tree/foliage pictures the APS or 4/3 sensor probably works best. For extreme DoF focused on single subjects or people the FF works best.
With the 58/1.4 on the Df it officially becomes the antithesis of a compact! But this morning I plan to take a quick forest walk with the DP2M, which I broke back out last night since it was not selling, and recent pictures from it have reminded me of its unique rendering.
I'll have more Df pictures very soon.
