Although I won't really know until I get the slides back after our trip, it looks like all three are killer lenses. The portrait I took of my wife outside on the porch at f/2.0 was super. That is one sharp lenses, same may be said for the other two. Hard to tell much else about them from mostly inside at my wife's birthday party. Through the years I have had several 35/1.4 ASPH lenses, and not all were really great. When you get one keep it. The last one I sold, silver-chrome, I had bought used and it just didn't quite cut it. It didn't seem to have quite the sharpness and contrast that it should. Didn't take slides as I didn't think I would get them back before we left. Everything seemed to work just fine. Still had the same problem with flare in the VF. Only strange thing that happened was that one shot I took in a dark restaurant I couldn't see the superimposed focusing in the rectangle. I moved the lens back and forth but never did see it, even on the bright golden necklace. May have been holding my finger over one of the windows. All the other shots that I took are smack on in focus. I also played around with the camera trying to replicate the situation. Never could.
