Hey guys, my 2 new lenses arrived in the post today. 35mm F2 and 50mm F1.8. the 50mm is pretty much razor sharp from wide open but i've found the 35mm is quite soft wide open, ok at F3.2 then razor at F3.5. Should this be the case considering the 35mm cost over twice the 50?

Here you go - lots of reviews. Including your 35 f2. Just check that they're using a similar crop sensor to yours.

Had a quick look at the Canon section - what a shame they use only an APS-C body to test them.

Also worth looking at Fred Miranda, and, for Nikon users only, Bjorn Rorslett (link on left side for this).
