As others have noted, both only go to 2:1.

Not that I'm aware of.

Having had both, I must say I'm partial to the f2 lens. I would say it 
out-performs the f3.5 at any aperture, any magnification. But in many cases, 
not by much. It just seems to have a crisper "look" -- painfully sharp! (Don't 
use t for portraiture on anyone over 30!)
