In addition to obvious sharpness and contrast, there's a kind of pure, smooth look to the details. I've yet to be struck by the same impression when shooting with the 35/2 ASPH, a lens I use more for it's size and lower cost (compared to the 35/1.4) than for any other reason. See previous post about the 40/2 Summicron-C: provocative, but perhaps true. This lens has always had a great reputation. Erwin: please test it for us!
