Excellent test, thanks for sharing ITR!

I can see the new lens is slightly sharper at f2, the old lens is comparable at other apertures.

The ghosting is very bad with the old lens, the new lens is stellar in this aspect maybe due to the Nano Crystal Coating.

Bokeh is much much creamier with the new lens! WOW
 

yups, all the right reasons to pay more...sharper, better bokeh, nano crystal coat. all this while letting more light in.
 

Nice Lens Test. Thanks for sharing :)
 

Great job.Thanks for your work hard. :devil:
 

many thanks for supporting, guys. I will do more tests soon, if u guy have any idea of the tests you want to see, just comment here :)
 

Great!
 

Thanks for the test. I am really impressed by the 35 f2.
 

Thanks for the images. Now I am convinced that 35/1.4 is not really worth getting over the 35/2
 

Hi there! Thanks for sharing! Can you share with us if there a noticeable AF speed difference?. Many thanks!

I notice that the 35f/2D has a little faster AF speed than the 35f/1.4, however, it's not much of a difference anyway.
