Others seem to be simply blinded, or hypnotised by the hype. I've seen several images which contributors have offered as demonstrations of how amazing the lens is, and most of them seem to be front-focused!

I am one of those blind people replaced my 35L with this horrible Sigma 35 and have been pretty happy with it. I didn't even do any micro lens adjustment/focus fine tuning on all my camera bodies because I am so blind and can't see the need for it yet, but I am not going to post anything to demonstrate how horrible that lens is since you and many knows how useless that lens is already, LOL.

Have to agree with you Dan.   Proof is in the pudding for me, my biggest selling images on Getty have been taken with 5D2/5DIII and the Sigma 35mm 1.4 - no complaints from me, no MA on either body - occasionally have noticed problem when focussing at distance but easily remedied with a couple of extra frames.

I love my 50mm 1.2L, but have more trouble getting it right, (very probably user not equipment), as when I focus test, tripod/test chart, its usually spot on.
