It's amusing how some members justify the optical shortcomings of the 1.4 versions (35mm and 50mm) with the term "character"
Its also amusing that some members only look at lens shaprness to determine if a lens is good or not-
Character is a trait of a lens- Call it spherical aberration, LoCa etc - Call it whatever you want but looking at a comparison like this-
The "spherical aberations" show great character on a few of these with the 35 1.4 which is easy to pick out.
Or even in pictures- So call it what you want SA, BS, Character etc but Nikon did a great job of giving 3 distinct options all with differnt goals in design. Sorry if you can't see that or get hung up on words.
