How about distortion? The f2 distorts like crazy and it relies on digital correction which involves interpolation and cropping. The f1.4 is optically corrected and it doesn't require digital correction, consequently, it doesn't require interpolated pixels and cropping. This often becomes very important during post processing.

Scroll down to the distortion section of this (or any for that matter) review:

I think you only see what you want to see. I copied the conclusion from that comparison piece. Like I said, both lenses are good and have their roles:

“When looking at these two lenses, the clear winner in terms of raw image output is the 35mm f1.4. It producer better bokeh and nicer corner sharpness plus it produces a full stop more light.

However, the 35mm f2 is a very important lens in Fujifilm line up because of what you can do with it and where you can take it. It’s a more rugged design that is fairly resistant to the elements. For the hiker or backpacker, boaters, spelunkers, the 35mm f2 is going to be the way to go, or if you like to shoot with continuous AF with face and eye tracking or shoot video, the 35mm f2 will run circles around the 35mm f1.4.

Unfortunately neither of these lenses are jaw dropping and the 35mm f1.4 is a little expensive when you compare it to the full frame Canon and Nikon 50mm f1.4.”
