And I read the review last week "Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 (ZE) Lens Review": http://slrlensreview.com …stagon-t-35mm-f14-ze.html Wonder what your guy think. I saw that review. The 35 1.4 is great but, I just took delivery of the 35 f2 and it's excellent.

And actually i find it more fun and artistic to shot MF, without recomposing and boring focus points.
