In my opinion it’s the best street lens so far. And I have also 23 1.4 , 35 2 and 35 1.4. Perfect combo in the street is 23 f2 - 50 f2. My lens is indeed sharp, really sharp like your also at close distance, probably we were lucky. Obviously if you want to take night pictures it is bad, but in that case you should use only 1.4 / 1.2 .

I use this combo for street as well, but I don’t agree with you that the lens is extremely sharp at MFD
