There are problems with certain copies not all - my first copy form Amazon was front focusing a wee bit - replaced it with Amazon and the next was spot on. In fact being a Amazon prime member, the reps send me another copy with 1 day shipping checked both lenses and sent the older one back. | 5D Mark III | T3i | 24-70 f2.8 MK II L | 70-200 f2.8 IS mk II L | 18-200 f3.5-5.6 | Σ 30mm f1.4 | 50 f1.8 | 430exII | YongnouYN560 | YongnouRF603 | Vangaurd 263AT |

I think it's low light is great, especially because its a 1.4 lens and lets a lot of light in when focusing. 5D Mark III | Gripped 60D | EOS M | Sigma 30mm f1.4 | Canon 24-70mm f2.8L II | Canon 8-15mm f4L | Canon 50mm f1.8II | Canon 100L | Tamron 150-600mm

But you should also consider the new 35 1.4 which beats this categorically. Unless your budget is tight. Indeed it is :-p. I just sold my 18-270 to fuel purchasing this guy. I think this should be fine for me. Plus it's already ordered. Sony A6000 | Zeiss Vario-Tessar 16-70mm f/4 OSS | Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 | Promaster XC525 | Gear/Feedback
