Received my Sigma 135 ART for Nikon from MPEX yesterday, April 13 and so far it's been lucky. Backfocused enough to require -15 AF Tune (I have to open the USB Dock package next, prefer to adjust that way).
I had just owned a Zeiss 135/2 ZF2 and while I never had both lenses at the same moment to compare shot for shot, the images feel very similar. I suspect the Zeiss is slightly sharper and warmer overall but I can't fault the Sigma.
The best part is that the AF on the Sigma is fast, like a pro telephoto and not like a Nikon f/1.4 or 1.8 prime. Sigma put a real motor into the thing, it tracks like my 300/2.8... no doubt the wide aperture helps too. This is a real deal winner for me because I've either been shooting the fast telephoto or manual focusing with Zeiss normals. Now it's Made AF Great Again!
