There are no big differences. The best of all is the Sigma A 1.4/35 and the worst is the Nikkor AF-S 35 mm f/1.4G and the Mitakon, tested by us here; its distortion values are the same as those of the expensive and fast Nikkor. Still, as the absolute distortion level doesn’t exceed 2% it would be difficult to call it bothersome. There are no serious reservations concerning the Creator 2/35 in this category.
