This is one of reasons I didn't buy Sigma 35/1.4 A.  I have heard both claims, many love this lens and also bunch of such reports.  In comparison we never heard 35/2.0 IS focus issue, the one I picked up.  For me a 35mm lens is mainly for street and indoor photos so shallower DOF is not critical as it's not an ideal portrait lens on FF body per my perspective and I benefit more from 4-stop 'IS'.  For 50mm or 85mm or 135mm prime, option of shallower DOF is much more important for portrait.
