Originally posted by sundown How do you find the 35/1.4, btw? Ever since becoming familiar with mirrorless systems, I just want to move away from noisy lenses as well. Is it too distracting?
The 35/1.4 is a superb lens and not noisy at all. The focus motor is just audible and I suspect anyone who says it's noisy has never used a screw-focus lens.
It's well built and optically it's a amazing, very sharp even wide open but with character in the rendering, which is often lost in lenses which are very sharp at large apertures. I would thoroughly recommend it.
If you do get one, make sure that the firmware is up-to-date as I believe this can have a significant impact on focus speed.
