I was the opposite. Got many more keepers from the 35mm f2 than I did with 23mm. I struggled to get anything with shallow depth of field on the 23mm unless I went very close, and then I had to stop down anyway as at f2 subjects werent very sharp but otherwise a very sharp lens for landscape etc.

I think 23mm was too wide for me, with not enough subject isolation and busy scenes in my shots so I'm one of the people that prefer the 50mm equivalent as the one focal length to use if I had to choose.
