Many are saying that the 35 f1.4 has a specific magic. My point with this thread was simply that the 35 f2 is on par, as long as f2 is enough. It is more about demystifing the „clean look“ of the f2 and the „magical“ rendering of the f1.4

Ah - I like this explanation for your thread. In reality, there is no magic with any lens, only the image it creates and every aspect of that can be described in objective terms. So if someone says, "buy this lens because it's magic", that doesn't help the buyer.

So, this thread and all the posts here are about helping buyer to buy lens? I am not aware of that...

Is it? I wasn’t aware of that.
