Aguinaldo, the lens is already added to the online catalog of Nikon website with the usual full descriptions, data and some not-so-fancy sample images.  But I've seen no news since the announcement of the its release.

I have seen some comments from that nikon guy "Richie" I think is called, talking about its goodness but without images as it was a pre-production sample. I guess some more waiting.

NikonRumors.com has a hands-on review with pictures attached.

Looks like a very nice lens for the “Z” cameras  :)

It says: "in my humble opinion, even if I only have it for a few days, this is the best 85mm nikon have produced to date"

The lens is on its way. So hopefully I can share my experiences soon. I can’t compare it with the G-lenses since I don’t have. I once had a 1.4 but replaced it with the PC-E lens.  So my plan is to compare it with the 85mm PC-E lens. A lens that has really impressed me for portrait work. But first a trip to Iceland where I will bring the lens with me as well.

Thorough test results, and scroll down to images of 105 f1.4E to compare
