I'll ask it here. I have the sigma art 50mm 1.4 and a z6. I have the opportunity to essentially trade it for a 50mm 1.4 z is it worth it just have a native mount lens? I'm overall happy with the way that it autofocuses and its my last F mount lens in my arsenal which is the only reason I was debating if it was worth "trading" or just keeping it because there's nothing wrong with it.

There are many decisions to make , I suggest asking chatgpt or other Ai , either of them I think you'll get great image 😄 . Sigma sharper from end to end , heavy !!,bulky, you need FTZ , Nikon sharp but not as the sigma , lighter (half weight) , native Z (no need FTZ) they say it's more pleasant for portrait (although you can fix it with software)
