guys how much success do you have while focusing? any inconsitency? what hints do you have about focusing? do you have any problem with contrast?

answers for me:

%70 spot on focus, i use "single point" focus and i never do focus and recompose, sometimes contrast is very low, one more thing never take a photo of someone in front of a yellowish wall, this lens have a yellowish color cast


Has anyone else seen a yellow cast on their copy? I had a Sigma 70-200 and it had an ugly yellow cast.

The only yellow cast here is because I amped up the fall colors.. Another example on crop.. and yes, there is a bit of fringing I didn't bother to clean up... shot at 1.4

^do you have a 77mm ND filter or a few already? Highly recommended for daylight use.

I have now got mine and tested it but I am not pleased with it`s performance. Cromatic aberation and hunting in low light so I think about selling it and save the money for some other lenses or a FX body. I have gone from FX to DX but really miss the FX sensor, regarding noise and performance.

Could anyone share some 100% crops wide open at low ISO Would love to see how well it's actually doing at 1.4...

Thanks!

Hey thanks for the post Mike. Looks pretty good at 1.4 and takes sharpening nicely. Thanks.

Workerdrone,

Is it me or what! Your first picture doesn't appear to have the focal point on her face.

Yeah, it seems that either the camera or the photographer has a slight case of front focus going on. I can't figure out which one it is!

Annoying at times, but common with fast lenses and I'm sure you realize that shot is way over-exposed.
