Any users, experiences, opinions?

Seems nice, if one gets the focus sorted, I read.

There is also this thread where it's discussed against the Sigma 50 ART: http://www.getdpi.com/forum/nikon/51691-sigma-50mm-f1-4-dg-hsm-vs-nikon-58mm-1-4-opne-get.html

And my summary comment from that thread with what I think is the relevant purpose of the 58/1.4:
"The new Sigma 50 ART lens is a winner for a fast 50, period. But the Nikkor is a 58... Those extra 8mm may not sound like much, but they make a world of difference if you're a portrait shooter instead of a street shooter; the difference between ever so slightly slightly bulbous noses and flatter pert noses on a typical head-shot."

That said, I am thinking about adding the 58 to my arsenal just to have it as an alternative...
