Looks like that glass mesmerized yet another victim... Wink I don't even try to pretend it's not overpriced but the joy it gives is fully worth it.
And on Nikon Z6II it works fantastic.

Splendid! Like 1

I own that lens also. The very first specimen of it - with the silver ring.

Very nice lens. However, it has the yellowish cast.

I paid for it $100 in 1995.

One of the reasons I like thoriated lenses. It's good however to apply some UV to it from time to time, to keep yellowing under control.
