Yes, I mean 35GM vs 35/1.2DN - the AF is not "clearly better on the GM" . You can get higher fps sure, but in everyday usage usage they are very similar... Regarding LoCA, it's difficult to compare because Sigma seems to have faster sharpness fall-off so LoCA becomes more visible earlier, to my eyes at least...
This thread is not about those two lenses, but I don't think we disagree. Axial CA becomes more visible to my eyes too and that is what I meant by more axial CA. What I care about is axial CA becoming visible earlier. With regard to AF focus, the 35 GM is fantastic and totally suitable even for very fast moving subjects like skateboarders or basketball and for those things I would appreciate the higher fps while still maintaining great AF and the GM can do that and the Sigma cannot, but that is not what I am interested win shooting any more and the Sigma would be more than good enough for what I want to shoot.
And I find a similar situation with the 85 GM I and II. The 85 GM I has a bit of trouble with its AF keeping up with fast action. It has limited fps as well, but its AF is more than good enough for my purposes and although early reports are that the 85 GM II has less axial CA than the 85 GM I, to my eyes anyway I prefer the bokeh of the GM I enough that I think I will put up with the bit of extra axial CA. That is my perspective anyway, YMMV.
