I bought one of these as soon as they were available and took it on two weddings right after I tested it in the shop and at home. All seemed to work fine. I will say it is a very sharp lens and has the most amazing build quality of all 50 mm lenses I have used. But...mine was a very unreliable focuser. The thing is that it wasnīt front or back focusing but rather was unpredictable. If I took several shots without moving and using the same AF spot and all, some shots would be in focus, others would not. When I returned it and demonstarted the problem the people in the shop had to admit there was a problem with AF. It wasnīt catastrofical but at f1,4 precise AF is paramount. So, instead I bought the new 24-70 f2,8 and couldnīt be happier. For me reliability is everything. Donīt want to discourage you, though. Maybe, I had a bad copy...
