So, I picked up a Sigma 85 1.4 late last week and had the chance to put it through some light use this weekend. Having tested the lens before I bought it, my initial impression was the copy I got was a good bit softer than the one I tested. I did the Dot Tune method at about 10 feet and got it dialed in at a -15, which seems a little excessive, but that's what MA is for.
Results within that range look pretty good but venturing outside of 10 feet +/- a couple feet, shots begin looking a little suspect again. I may try the Dot Tune again at a few different distances and see if I can come up with a different yet better adjustment.
Curious though, how many of you would keep the lens and how many of you would send it back?
