So if you're a landscape photographer and are aware of the problem, you can check and adjust as required - a perfectly good workaround. But if you're interested in capturing unique family moments, it's not acceptable.

Strangely Al, this is what I use the lens for most  - I am not a landscape person.  Never had a single problem with focus on indoor family shots which is where this lens shines for me.   I am not saying that if I was in the habit of 100% pixel peeping every shot would be spot on, but no more misses than I had with my previous 35L and I prefer results.

Just for the record I don't consider myself a Sigma "fanboy" just my opinion and experience.  I will not be rushing to get the new 50mm Sigma, because what I have does the job for me, but as with the 35L, I traded my 85 L for the Sigma 85 1.4,  because the Canon didn't.
