Nice shots. But how about the autofocus? Isn't it very slow?

Actually it's the exact opposite, the AF is very fast for a non USM-lens: The 35mm/2.0 uses an AFD, Arch Form Drive, motor which is faster than for example the motor used in the 50mm/1.8 II. But it gets kinda noisy when the AF starts hunting or travels a long distance, but this luckily doesn't happen often. Other than that, you can usually only hear some sort of "gritting" when it focuses. A very interesting sound that is. ;)

It is really nice having a '50mm' prime. The bokai is really good, very fluid (less the 5 blade apeture)
 
Thanks although I know the images are not works of art. It was cold and very windy so I did not take time to compose very well. I was just testing the focus and sharpness.

I found the AF to be quite fast. It seemed like less than a second although I was not timing it. It seems to be as fast as the 28-70 2.8L which I recently sold.

Nice pictures.

I too got it on Friday. What a sharp lens! (Visible difference from 300D kit lens - too me at least). But the sound is really loud. My cat jumps at it :).

Yep, the bokeh is indeed pretty smooth and as long as you don't stop the lens down too much there'll be no pentagon OOF objects. Mike Johnston ("The Sunday Photographer") commented the bokeh and general performance of the 35mm/2.0 like this: "Still, few lenses are so predictable or excellent in performance, and almost none have such consistently smooth and reliable bokeh." I tend to agree with him. :)
