Yes off course. The 1.4 is smoother and fades nicer.

This has been demonstrated to be false. If you pick the 35mm f2 and the 35mm f1.4 at f2 the bokeh roll off will be identical.

Neither are super smooth in busy backgrounds.

I tried them both and I don't agree.

Theres plenty of side by side comparisons on YouTube, are they all wrong?

Not sure how this would be, but maybe so... but the MTF curves are quite different, different central sharpness to out-of-focus edges on a tighter portrait. The 35 f2 if I recall, has a more even sharpness across the frame, whereas the 35 1.4 has more microcontrast in the center then dives into smoother, not so sharp edges, esp at the first few stops.

I had the 35 f2, the 35 1.4, and the 35 1.2 7 artisans all at the same time. I'm not a pixel peeper or know how to do scientific tests, but to me, they all had a diff "look" to them. I am kind of picky about color/bokeh though. Sure, it's subtle, as they are all the same focal length after all, but it was there.

I do agree neither have "Great" bokeh, but pretty good... The 56 1.2 is better than both, IMO.
