Looks like the Sigma Art is not enjoying great enthusiasm in this poll, despite its admitedly great optics. Is it an unfair case of a bum rap? Doubt it. It's rather a case of a fair rap given its AF ills. One still largely gets what one pays for. Nevertheless many here remain in denial.

So, my love of the 35 / 1.4A is a matter of denial? I'd have thought otherwise, but...

In the aggregate, buster, in the aggregate. You (and Dan) bury your head under the sands of copious, chronic user reporting of Sigma AF consistency by focusing on your individual data point.

Anecdotal evidence from people on a gear forum who are having issues with a lens is hardly accurate data. If I went by that I would think that the 70-200 f4L is is soft based on some of the latest problems on here.

How about the Amazon reviews of the 35 art. 78% 5 stars and 87% 4 stars and above compared to 9% 2 stars or lower.

Or FM's 9.7 overall user reviewof the 35 / 1.4A.  Either way, if you like the 35 / 1.4A, you're in denial.
