Fast, wide prime with close focus distance? Does it exist for Nikon?

When I was looking at buying an X-T camera, the lens which really drew me in was the Fuji XF 16mm f/1.4.

This has a fast 1.4 aperture and a close focus distance of just 15cm! This creates beautiful & otherwise difficult to achieve Bokeh on wide angle (24mm equivalent) shots.

I would like to find a reasonably priced prime lens for my Z6 (Z mount or F mount), even third party if need be, which could achieve this same effect. It would need to have an aperture of at least f/2.8. It would also be great if this lens would be good for Astro (sharp wide open, low COMA etc.).

I have given up on this lens also having a manual aperture ring & focus clutch, as nice as it may be.

Do you have any suggestions?

PS: The 14-30mm f/4 S zoom has been lauded with praise in reviews. It might end up being the wide angle I get. But I am not convinced yet.

Check out Irix manual focus lenses in Nikon mounts. There is a 15mm f2.4 lens in a Nikon F mount. In Z mount, they have Cine lenses but they are much more expensive. You can rent some of thee at LensRentals.com.
