Anyone have any thoughts how this performs in general vs the 35/1.2? Seems more similar than dissimilar but curious how it compares at wide aperture.
The 40 is what I wanted the 35 to be. It's much, much better wide open, at least if you don't shoot at or near MFD. I actually love the softness at MFD, but some might hate it.
Bokeh is similar from MFD to ~1.5 meters, but after that the 35 disintegrates quickly while the 40 only gets funky corners (a bit too funky, but that was expected).
Even though they have very similar rendering, the 40 is clearly optimized for larger distances while the 35 is optimized for closeups.
