Anyone test the 35/2.8 against the 35/1.4?

I would happily choose both of the Sony 35 lenses. Sure the 2.8 is much smaller, more stealthy and cheaper. But the 1.4 must simply be a bummer.

I myself owned a 1.4 Distagon ZF.2 on my Nikon D800E and it delivered. Now this new Sony Distagon is especially designed for the FE mount and thus I have no doubt about overall quality and stellar IQ.

I am currently not in the FE system, but seriously considering to enter with the AZrII, and then the 1.4/35 will be a no brainer for me. Maybe even in combination with the 2.8/35, just to have some kind of "body cap" lens.

If you can only afford one I tell people to choose the 35/1.4 FE. If you can swing it then I'd choose the 35 Loxia for my personal shots or the 28 FE if you have budget concerned.
