Re: Example in harsh lignting

I truly cannot see any difference worth commenting upon.  The second one has slightly denser shadows (I think) but that could easily just be difference in exposure as the aperture stops might not be spot on the same or the light transmission different for the two lenses.  As one is 1.4 and the other 2 it is likely their optics are very different.

My take home message would be that if you've got one fast 23mm lens there isn't any point in buying another.  Actually from reputable makers I think that applies to pretty much any focal length.
