Yes for $379 I took a chance. I can't remember how many lens reviews I have read about super speed lenses that are soft at max aperture "sharpens up just fine at F2.8." Heck F2.8 is what my zooms do and they look fine wide open.
Well guess what? This 35mm looks GREAT at F1.4! (sharp and contrasty). I have the legacy Nikkor 35mm F1.4 Ai and it really doesn't do well wide open. So that's just what I use the Bower for F1.4 to F 2.0 (and then change to my 24-70 for F2.8 and above). To me it's a special purpose lens that beats/equals the high price spread.
