Don't try to slip a coating error by Moose writes:
Already an error before 2.5 minutes in. He assumes his 35/2.8 is multi-coated from a black front

Well, at least the discussion is 100% on topic. Talking about nice 50's, the OMZ 50/2 macro has a nice rendering
and better bokeh than most. I suspect it is a bit pricey these days. The guy may not have the encyclopedic
knowledge (or massive selection of vintage lenses) of Simon Utek. I do like walking around with the Voigtländer
Nokton 40mm F1.2 and perhaps there is something about 40mm. I am not sure.
A big factor, if not THE big factor, is the need to clear DSLR mirrors. 40 mm is the widest anyone I know of made that
did not need to go reverse retrofocus design. So these 40s have much simper optical designs than the 35 and wider
lenses. That's also why pancake 40s could be made.
That does likely contribute to subtle differences in "looks".
