I've perused the LUG +AD4-archives but I have an interesting (imho) twist to the dilemma that, as +AD4-far as I know, has not been covered already. As you might predict, I +AD4-have been recommended the 50/2 as it's the sharpest 50 out there, but +AD4-when one person said +ACI-in the same league as the 35/1.4 ASPH in every +AD4-way+ACI-, I hesitated. The reason is that I have had two 35/1.4 ASPH, both +AD4-sold because I ended up prefering the images from my 35/2 non-asph. +AD4-While the images from the 35/1.4 ASPH were indeed very sharp, especially +AD4-wide open, it lacked the +ACI-3-D+ACI- and pleasant out-of-focus rendition of my +AD4-classic 35/2. +AD4- +AD4-My question is, does the 50/2 suffer from this +ACI-problem+ACI-? I was +AD4-investigating the 50/1.4 and found out that it has residual field +AD4-curvature, probably of the same type as in the classic 35/2. I wonder +AD4-if this is why I prefer the classic 35/2, and if I should go for the +AD4-50/1.4 based on this. Or is this too simplistic? Any opinions from +AD4-people who have used both 50mm lenses? I'll probably end up doing a +AD4-side by side test myself but I thought I would pick some LUG-brains +AD4-first +ADs-) +AD4- +AD4AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8- +AD4-Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
