I Love my 35 f/1.4. I picked up the 35 F/2 for $299 the other day to compare it to the 1.4. The jury is still not out. I will take my time with it. So far the size, build and focus trump that of the 35 1.4. I have yet to determine if it has the same magic IQ rendering as the 35 1.4, which is very special!
