I have read that some of you want to sell your pre-ASPH 35 mm for the new 1.4. Any feedback from using it. Is it so much better than the 2.0? Is it so much larger and does it annoyingly obscure the viewfinder? >> The overall optical quality of these two lenses is very close. One is really not better than the other. At 2.0, the 1.4 is a little sharper in the center. However, the 2.0 has even less curvature of field than the 1.4 and is more uniform from center to edge. From 2.8 on I cannot tell a difference.
