Yes, by f/2 or f/2.2, rendering is noticeably smoother....All the fun is gone.
Is this true even at larger distance? As usual, I'm interested in bokeh @ ~2-3 meters, stopped down a bit (f/2.5-4). The 40/1.2 remains smooth at any distance but only in the middle. The corners and borders are super funky and does unfortunately not get any better when stopping down.
I'm one of those few people that love the classic 50/1.4 Planar for that reason. Very chaotic bokeh near MFD and wide open, but absolutely amazing at f/2.5 and a few meters distance. If the 35/1.4 is similar I could actually get it only for that reason, never even using it wide open.
The Loxia 35 has funky corners stopped down but you don't really notice if you don't look for it, since the bokeh contrast is very low. Here at f/3.2. In my opinion, you get more "3D" with this look than with a super blurred out background.
