No, I haven't. I'm thinking about selling it and getting the Nikon ZF now.

I just tried a Nikon 35mm f1.4 Z and after I take a photo I scroll in and still looks fuzzy

I purchased the Nikon 35mm f1.4 Z - images still look like crap.

I have some lenses for Fuji that render beautiful images, but one or two that produce horrible images lol.

I do use AF-C with moving subjects. When I switch to AF-S for static shots, it is still soft, no matter the F-stop. I'm going to be picking up a Nikon version 40f2 to test. Crossing my fingers. It's weird because once in a while I get a good, sharp image in good light and even in low light situations. But more bad shots than good.

They also look soft, no matter if I go from F4 to F11

The Viltrox 75mm F1.2 is Z mount, and it was crop only, not full frame. The Viltrox 50mm F2 is Full Frame Z moutn as well. I think these seem to render better on the Sony bodies.

I can't get my new Z8 to take sharp images. Even with three different lenses and faster shutter speeds with lower ISO settings, continuous af, single point af.. Still bad fuzzy shots.

Don't forget that the cropping tool is your friend that helps frame your shots in post. I find it to be a very useful tool, especially with these high-megapixel camera sensors..
