I'm likely going to get the Voigt 58 to use as a "fast 50". Manual focus only, but very fast and dreamy bokeh (all for $379). Certainly as good or better than any 50 that Nikon is making or has made.

ummmmhh ... but is that 58 as good as the 58 that Nikon used to make.
yes - I am talking about the fabled Noctilux. I know - it is rare & expensive.
BUT if you needed a low light lens that performed like nothing else, then you needed that lens.
That is the thing about Nikon. If you need the "Eye of God" they make it. And if you are in the special program whose name I dare not mention, they will rent you that $20,000 lens.
