I've owned both. In fact, two different 1.4's. I finally decided on the f2.0 for it's light weight, small form factor, quick/quiet/accurate focusing and WR.

I had random focusing problems with both 23/1.4 copies and they both also had pretty strong CA's which really annoyed me when I got the images  home and looked at them.

As previously mentioned, if you need 1.4 there are several options. I've given up on buying the super fast aperture lenses as I personally don't need anything faster than f2. But that's just me.

One of my favorite two lens kits is the XT30-II with 18-55 and either the 23/2 or 35/2. This covers me for outdoors and indoor/low light situations, and is very comfortable to carry all day long.

Regards,

Rob
