Yea; that first picture you linked on pbase is the sort of image I remember from the 35f2. It doesn't handle lights very well. Not a very fair comparison but the contax lenses did a better job there; though I remember that the 100 was horrible at night and I always had to switch to the 85.

Image #1: background (center of 2nd flower) looks busy
Image #2: edgy highlight shapes
Image #3 & #4: extreme focus spread - most lenses produce a smooth out-of-focus zone in such scenarios
Also ... http://www.pbase.com/image/37178864 or http://www.pbase.com/image/69032227 ... hardly impressive.
