In my opinion, one has to take forum posts with a grain of salt. I remember many years ago I wante to purchase 5D MKII. Boy....I came here to read all the complaints that the camera cannot focus and that the AF was useless. I did not have big experience myself back then, so I was not sure what to do. Gladly a friend of mine who was a Pro photographer told me that it has nothing to do with reality. I got the camera and took many-many great images. Never had any issues with the AF system. I feel the same here. Only the real life use of the lens will give a proper feel for it. I do not believe that Canon just produced a lemon. I am sire the lens will be used to create killer portraits. Hopefully, I am going to be among those who will do it:-)
