Title: Focus issues...already, smh. will update when new unit is recieved.
Review: I actually rented this lens from Adorama for a shoot last week. Was able to take shots at even 1.4 without issue, very few unfocused shots. hit rate was about 95%, and i was very pleased.I ended up purchasing the lens this past tuesday. And while the first couple of shots & bob atkins tests went well, in the field- just regular walkabout tests- the autofocus went from fine to WTF very quickly. I began to wonder if it was my technique, but I do much better on my 85 1.8, which is known to have blazing focus speed/accuracy. But this was just bad. At one point theres 10+ shots with focus off.Reference shots full body/ poses of 2 prospective models ALL came out blurry, even at shot speeds of 1/160. I couldn't believe it- I think the lens has real issues bas 2/3 feet. So im going to go ahead and order this lens from amazon so i will have more than 7 days to evaluate. Current version is being returned to ado. I dont have time for this :(
