I think it's a good lens and a great value. The size and weight is unbeatable.

I've got both the 35 f2 and the 1.4g. The sharpness is closer than you would think. The f2 is a little more prone to flare (but I don't use it with a hood).

Use that $400 to buy her a purse/jewelry. Hopefully she'll be delighted and give you $1000 next fathers day. You can then buy the Sigma 35 1.4.

bokeh is so subjective, but I see nothing unappealing about it

Nervous bokeh? Not the 35/2D Not compared to my AIS 35/1.4

The 35mm 2.0 has been my primary lens from back in my film days. I transitioned from my old F3HP with 35mm 2.0 AIS to a D200 with 35mm 2.0 AFD. It is my favorite all around lens. I get great sharpness and color rendition from both the AF and MF version.

Some time ago I purchased a 24mm 2.8 AFD thinking I would get the same quality as with my 25mm 2.8 AIS (following along the lines of my 35mm duo), but I was wrong. The 24 AFD was far bellow the quality and performance of the AIS version. I ended up returning it. I mention this so you won't think I'm just an eager Nikon fan-boy (despite having been using Nikon equipment continually since 1984). Test results provided by others are irrelevant to me as I have many years of hands-on experience with these lenses.
