I don't have the non-aspheric lens, but I can tell you that the new aspheric
lens is excellent.  It, and the 35 1.4, are the best 35 mm lenses that I have.
They are significantly better than the Contax 35 lenses.  Get the aspheric and
you will clear up the problem at 2.0.

<< I have done some testing on my 35/2 non-aspheric, which I love for its 
 lightness and portability.  Also, takes wonderful photos.  However, I 
 noticed on my test negatives that at f2 there is a noticible fuzziness, 
 especially in the corners which begins to clear up at f2.8 and is 
 noticibly better at f4.  Is this normal for a fast lens wide open?  Is 
 the new aspheric tack-sharp at all apertures?? >>
