I had the 23mm for a while but sold it for the TL 35mm 1.4. I miss the compact size and was more than happy with the image quality, I just prefer 50mm FOV. Out of focus areas really smooth but you're not getting particularly shallow depth of field. 

Wish there was a 35mm f1.8 or f2.0 for L mount

Do you have a sample pic of the rendering of the out of focus area? Thanks

This one is shot a little bit further back. Also shot at f2 with the TL-23. Sorry about the quality, posting from my phone and it seems hard to meet the size restrictions

 Is this at f2 or 2.8? The lens seems close.

f/2.0, yeah I’m pretty close to the subject.

Another one a little further back at f2.0 (now from the computer)
