From what I have read, the focus shift is no big deal at 1:1 or 1:1.4. And it's not there if you are shooting portraits at f2.8.

But if you are doing "medium macros" like flowers or butterflies, it's huge. And if you shoot portraits at f8 with flash, it's huge.

Hmm, not awesome. Sure, at 2.8, there is nothing to shift in the first place It did worry me a bit since what you call "medium macro" is what I do most often.

If there are problems, they don't become apparent to me. Shots like this one usually are spot-on.

@tkbslc: What do you make of those? They seem good to me. Both are medium macro with pretty far closed down aperture, that should show it, right?

Those look decent to me.  I don't have the lens, I just saw a pretty scathing review over at fredmiranda recently and that was the summary I shared.
