If you shoot subjects at about 12" or closer, you get the softness that the lens was designed to provide.

Really?!? The lens was " designed " to provide softness. Lmao ...

Its not a bad lens but definitely underwhelming for what most people might use it for. It is pretty bad below about 4 feet from the subject like kids dogs etc which is a shame because that's how most 35s are probably used.

All taken with the 23/2 - and below 4 feet (is that 1.20m??)

You were joking of course! Right??
