The EF 35 was a fine lens, but it couldn't have taken these shots. That's because of the close focusing ability of the RF lens. The EF lens wouldn't have been able to focus this close. Not only did the RF lens focus this close, but it also focused really fast, which is unusual for close distances.

The EF 35 has a MFD of 9.45" (24cm) and the RF 35 has a MFD of 6.69" (17cm) so while the RF is an improvement, the EF 35 f/2 was pretty good to begin with.  In any case, glad you are enjoying the lens.  I'm enjoying mine.
