Who says the 35/f2 has no magic?

Re: Let me explain...

I agree that photo is an interesting photo but I would not call it magical. However I’ve read a lot of reviews of that lens and other lenses online and I have certain certainly seen examples of pictures that have a certain depth or character That is not precisely describable except possibly with the word magical. I own the 35 F2 And I don’t think I would use the word magical to describe the pictures that I produce from that lens but some of them are really darned good .  I think I’ve had better luck with that lens giving me spectacular pictures compared with the 18 to 55 kit lens. I don’t think the kit lens renders quite as nicely because the bokeh is not nearly as good as the 35 F2, ibut I can’t fault it’s sharpness or color rendering.
