Love the last shot. The 35 Biogon looks to be able to focus down quite close... very similar to that of my Jupiter-8 50mm (1 meter). It looks really close to the same FOV as my 50mm at this angle. That's really great.
Makes me wonder what the 50mm is like with the .7 focusing. Hmm.

Thanks, Alex. I think that Sean has ^^^ updated that article now (very recently).

Alex, did you find the update on Sean's site?
I've just read it and spent a good bit of time looking at his crops and I must say that looking at the ASPH and the Biogon side by side I don't get the feeling that the ASPH is inferior in its OOF rendering than the Biogon. Interesting article, worth the subscription cost almost by itself.

Yes, I figured it and read it up (the OOF rendition section) yesterday.
He apparently added up OOF section just recently (I learnt through the entire review as part of my decision-making for 35mm lens a month or two ago).
Well, as per my view - must admit the OOF highlights appear to be somewhat harsher by ASPH in about 60% of the examples and Biogon rpoduced more muted, perhals somewhat more pleasable rendtion of these, while on other 40% ASPH headed up (IMHO). Strange, but I did not noticed much faster OOF transition of ASPH lens over Biogon as I remember clearly noticed in few other reviews (by mostly non-professional reviewer).
However, Biogon exhibits somewhat more coma in these OOF highlights, that is noticebale.
All in all, would I be a fresh wanna-have 35mm lens and making my choices between Biogon and ASPH solely upon optical performance, I'd probably wouldn't put in doubt Biogon. As in particular being twice as cheaper then ASPH - may indeed appear as no brainer...(putting aside external appearance, sizes, etc - here I prefer ASPH)
