Also - and I can't believe I am doing this - here are some terrible photos to illustrate what torturing this lens looks like. I ran outside and took many of these when I saw how off the rails the comments here got.

If you love to use your fast 35mm to take wide-open-in-broad-daylight photos of foliage or busy backgrounds - it's good to know what you're getting into.

First - this is what the out of focus rendering is generally like with this lens. Neutral, basic, nondescript.

As I said already, close ups are OK but then they are OK with every lens. You prove my point by cherry picking closeups after what I said.

Next - here's the old "brick wall" test. This is an extreme corner at 100%. Handheld, focused on the center of the frame. So ... BAD NEWS... if you spend $400 on this lens and really really wanted to take handheld photos of brick walls, wide open and have perfect corners - you won't. You also need a new hobby.

I never said anything about sharpness. You move the goalposts.
