My Sigma 35 1.4 just went back to store

While it was good at close up ranges, it was terrible at distances, even misfocussing at times.  Up close it might have been slightly better than my 50 1.4 but you had to pixel peep to see it and hardly worth the extra money to me.  I compared it to my 17-40 at F4 and 35 and there was very little difference there too.  I don't know if I got a dud, but quite frankly the hype didn't match my expectations.
