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?

There's millions of videos on YouTube explaining things. It does not mean they are right.

I don't follow charts and for me it's the printed photographs who are the end result.

The F2 has a different type of sharpness and rendering, especially in B&W.

They render slightly different, 35 f2 has more contrast, digital look than 35 1.4. In my opinion 35 f2 is a good lens but the worse of the bunch of Fujicrons. Best fujicron is 50, then 23, 16 2.8 and 35 f2 (assuming 90 f2 isn’t a fujicron).
