Excellent testing, rather than just claiming its soft/decentered without running a real test (or like some fine folks, claiming their lenses on the B/S board are centered and sharp, but have never tested it...).
Funnily, I had the Samy 35, and compared to the 35i, I found the contrast lower, the build pretty flimsy, the MF/AF ring thing is really dumb, and the resistance against bright light, in terms of axial CA and flare, veiling flare and ghosting worse. The bokeh was busier in the corners, but it had less cat's eye and SA at below a meter. However, it was cheaper, I think the AF was a tick better for tracking, it's a bit brighter and the coma correction was excellent. I liked both the Samy and 35i better than the FE 35/1.8, regardless of price.
Again, thanks for posting your results! And, why did you sell the GM 35? Too sharp/not rendering centric enough?
