Yes, the SEL 35mm f/1.4 with its large aperture has stolen the show but in my book, that FL is simply too close to the 55mm f/1.8, one of my favorite FE native lenses. In addition, the 35mm f/1.4 lens is quite a bit bulkier and heavier than the 28mm f/2. For my needs, the 28mm lens is a more sensible choice in wide angle to accompany my 55mm and it follows more the same line of small and lightweight aspect of a mirrorless system.
I have been using and enjoying this tiny and lightweight lens for 2 weeks but I captured more family images until the last two days on a short trip. The bokeh at f/2.0 and MFD is pretty nice but is lagging behind that of the 35mm f/1.4 but really at that aperture, I am pleased with what the results. And yes, the lens is also very capable of generating fabulous images. I may get the 35mm lens but for the time being this small 28mm lens will be my wide angle prime of choice. Here are two samples taken at wide open and at basically the MFD.
