Looks like the f/1.4 produces a significantly stronger background blur at f/2 than the f/2 version, quite interesting.
I am not sure. The shot # 18 with the 1.4 seems to be focused ever so slightly more to the front. This might cause the background to be more blured. At the 2.0 version the mans hair is still a bit sharper to the back of his head, wheras at the 1.4 version the left part of the statue is slightly sharper. That\'s 100% though, very hard to manually focus entirely the same.
It is hard to judge from just a couple of photographs. It is interesting though, that the characteristics of the lenses are so similar.
The more intense saturation and clarity shows well in the bike shot.
thanks Philipe for doing this comparison, and taking the time to work on the pics! As everybody is so curious, this is really interesting to investigate.
You were able to point to quite a few differences, which I find is a tough job within that little amount of time. Well done!
