Look at the corners with the 1.4 wide open and the 2.0 open. Besides the fact that the 1.4 is twice as fast, the corners are usable wide open. If you have a 1.6 crop camera the difference is not so noticable. I love the 2.0, it carries nice and is very unobtrusive. It definitly has its place. But it does not really replace the 1.4. Did I mention it is TWICE as fast? Guess so. Look at the corner crops from \"The Digital Picture\" I am not knocking the 2.0. I have one, use it, and like it a lot.

According to Photozone\'s resolution test, the Canon 35mm f/2 seems to be actually sharper in the corners then the 35mm f/1.4L @ f/2 and f/2.8

See here:
Canon 35mm f/2

Canon 35mm f/1.4L
http://www.photozone.de/canon_eos_ff/516-canon35f14ff?start=1

Based on this review chart, the 35mm f/1.4L looks really bad around the extreme corners up until f/2.8. After that, it takes over.

It would be nice if kellystonelake could do a corner and extreme corner comparison between these 2 lenses. This time with the husband smiling a bit!


I guess it really depends on where you take your samples from then because the digital picure corner comparison clearly shows that the corners on the f2 don\'t catch up until about f5.6.
