How much of a crop is this? Can you post the exif and full frame? I never, Not once claimed to read your post...

i have been shooting outside but it seems most of the shots are not sharp enough.maybe im not used to the lens or maybe im used to the sharpness of the sigma but im not too happy with it.im thinking i might i have a bad copy.here is a shot of me.would you consider this as sharp?

I was thinking the same thing. Canon 50D | Canon 17-55 | Sigma 30 1.4 | Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II| Canon 85 1.8 | 430EXII| 580EX ll | ST-E2 | Canon TC 1.4x II | Benro Travel Angel C1682TB0

After adjusting AF micro-adjustment, perhaps try sending it in to Tokina. It's too good a lens to simply return! Designer // Art Director // Photographer
