I've shot with the Nikon 58mm f/1.4 since 2015, and I can objectively say that, yes, this lens gets you as close to the medium format look as you can get! My dream setup used to be a Mamiya 80mm f/1.9 mounted onto a baveyes focal reducer, mounted onto a tech-art autofocus adapter, mounted onto a Sony mirrorless camera. But over the years, I've accepted that my 58mm f/1.4 mounted onto my Nikon mirrorless camera autofocuses waaaay better than that dream setup ever would, and produces images that are absolutely stunning. So I've stopped lusting over anything else. This lens is THE BOMB.
