So my opinion and my source aren't as good as yours? I've heard/read from a few sources that the 35mm 1.8D isn't as good as the 35mm f2. Sorry that you think your opinion is above mine, Im never said you were an idiot, i even said "im not trying to talk down on you" i didn't discredit your opinion. Use the lens, i dont give a shit. I do tons of research too, since getting my redrock/looking into an af100 I spend lot of my free time looking at reviews about lenses, my opinion is just as good as yours.
