[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 122307, member: 9237"] Like mine after it came back from Sigma's Calibration facitlity in NYC. It's a very tricky lens, however. You should realize that the lens will backfocus closer than 5 feet and front focus further than 20 feet. It's a weird one, but when you learn it and it works well, it produces absolutely incredible images. Might be too much for most who are just getting into very fast primes (1.4 and larger) I know it was a steep learning curve for me to start shooting at 1.4 out of the gate, even coming from the 35 1.8! It's stupid sharp by f4. The sharpest lens I've ever had the pleasure of using in fact. I considered getting the 50 1.4 instead, but the incredible bokeh of the Sigma still has a bit of a stranglehold on me. [/QUOTE]
