Juha, not sure if you know (but I emailed Ballany at Camera Hunter when the 35/1.3 was announced as I was interested) and he confirmed it's the same optically (or very nearly identical) as the older 35/1.4 Apoqualia. But the ergonomics looks really horrible to me, even by MS Optical standards. So, you can like/have found the reviews and images on the 35/1.4 Apoqualia good, you will like the 35/1.3. I don't believe you shoot with a stock sensor, but the 35/1.4 Apoqualia is pretty affected by a stock sony sensor as well, though I used and liked mine on stock Sony anyway. Now I use it on a NKIR modded sensor and it performs better (though even at f8, the extreme corners are still mushy at infinity). It was not a big deal for me as I shoot it mostly wide open for it's character and rendering on both sensors, not really expecting anything in terms of technical IQ.
