The EF 35mm 2.0 is also really nice for another reason - it has an incredibly short (25cm) minimum focus distance. Mine is a very sharp lens in the center, even at F2.0 (F1.4 speedboosted). So you can achieve nice subject isolation, with a sharp subject, against a relatively wide blurred background for context.

I hope this post helps some folks decide on whether the Viltox will work with their lenses.

Thanks for the write-up! Now that I've got my Viltrox I've definitely got my finger on the trigger for either the Canon 35mm f2 or the Tamron 35mm 1.8. I've heard some horror stories about the AF and the VC not working on the Tamron, and I think your post may have swayed me towards the Canon.
