The sky was really bright that day so wanted to bring it back. I increased vibrancy, saturation of some colors, and adjusted curves in Lightroom to reduce light and highlight value.

I was skeptical at first reading about all the "problems" but after using it for a bit, I love the FL and images can be really sharp, you just have to know how to get the most out of your equipment!

I was worried about getting a bad copy but I guess I got lucky, cuz mine is spot on and sharp! 5D Mark III - 35L ii- 85L - Sigma 50 1.4

This is such an incredible lens on the 1.6 crop ( I guess it doesn't really work too well on FF). There is a reason this thread has 375 pages! Loving it! Cory

At 1.4 yes very shallow DOF, but not necessarily "very soft" at the focal point. I put up a simple shot yesterday at f/1.4 that I think is quite sharp at this aperture. This lens is great. Cory
