Compared to 35mm f / 1.4L

This is not meant to be a shoot-off between the two lenses. Just some comparison shots for reference. Also, it is important to note that, due to the difference in FLs (focal lengths), the water tower shot necessarily favors the 60 / 2.8 macro. However, for the other two shots, the rose and the ivy, I think it's fair to say that the 60 / 2.8 macro is a sharper lens, especially in the corners, than the 35 / 1.4L.

That said, the 35 / 1.4L and 135 / 2L still remain, by far, my two favorite lenses.
