I envision it being very similar to the 55/1.8. Mega sharp and fast AF but a little dull. Useful,effective but a buy/sell favorite down the line.


From the samples posted here, the 55/1.8 seems to have smoother rendering compared to the FE 35/1.8.
I don't think the 35/1.8's images are dull at all! I see more contrast and deeper colors compared to the 55mm. Yes, they are similar in size and build but imo not in rendering and contrast.


There's nothing dull about the lens. Colors are vibrant and plenty of contrast SOOC.

I'm actually find that the bokeh is pleasant. I suspect that like most lenses, the bokeh can get situationally bad and that a little bit of confirmation bias is happening where people saying the bokeh is bad period. From what I've seen in the samples, its OOF highlights in that are really well defined that people are disliking.

Below is a shot from the highly regarded CV 40 1.2. It's exhibiting the same highly defined distant OOF highlights that people dislike in the FE 35:
