Does anyone prefer the 35mm 1.4 over the 2.0?

I spent some hours contemplating the two, looked at hundreds of photos from each, read every review I could find and ultimately bought the 1.4 for one reason - image quality. Like the other poster, it was the image correction that didn't sit well with me. I'm sure the software is great and that it is frequently updated, but I'd rather have a better image delivered from the glass.

Slow focusing hasn't been an issue for me,

I think statements about it having slow focusing are overblown and perhaps leftover from days of earlier firmware. Sure, it's slower than the f/2, but I suspect it is very similar to the 23 1.4 which I have and it's a bit noisy but not slow.

My AF is super fast.
