Both 35mm lenses are a bit dull tbh, I have the F2 atm and trying to sell it, had the 1.4 for a couple of years and yes, it produces nice results but so does the F2.  At similar apertures you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference, awful load of nonsense re the 1.4 and it's "magic" eurgh [I know it's become a bit of a meme almost but it's still cringe inducing BS]  They are much of a muchness outside a couple of factors.  Which would you prefer in a dimly lit scenario - the 1.4, which would you prefer out in the rain? the F2 ... which would you rather use for video if needed? the F2, which do you prefer the aesthetic of? - personal preference completely on that one.  I did prefer the look of the 1.4 but since I've gotten used to the F2 it certainly feels better, tougher and the snout-nose look grows on you.
