I have read all the complaints about the 35/2G lens, but having used it extensively for over two years, I have to say that these comments are mostly wrong and that they are repeated primarily by those who have never even used it. The major objections raised are that it is soft at the periphery when wide open and that its bokeh is somewhat unpleasant. To which I would answer: if you can find a better 35/2, I would like to see it. Even the vaunted Leica 35/2M asph, though possibly sharper edge to edge, has a nasty bokeh wide open.
For those who like the 35mm focal length for general shooting and reportage, as I do, do not be put off by negative comments about the 35/2G. It is a wonderful lens.
