Panowie proszę podawać nr seryjne wtedy zobaczymy czy cos w tym jest, oraz typy korpusów na jakich były testowane szkła.

foto-net, czy masz mozliwosc zrobic test na pelnej klatce (np. 5D)? czytalem, ze problemy pojawiaja sie wlasnie na pelnych klatkach, ze z 40D AF dziala spoko:

"The issue with this lens, on both of the copies I've tested (and every independent individual who I've spoken to shooting this lens on full frame) is that it SEVERELY back focuses when you focus beyond 10' (3m). Granted I only occasionally use the lens beyond that range, but I should be able to without issue.

It's really odd because the image is in focus in the viewfinder (I have split prism manual focus screen) and no matter how many times I refocus it back focuses by about 30-50cm at 3m.

When I focus any closer it is accurate and the image quality is stellar.

I've spoken to Sigma who were less than helpful (even condescending) but the distributor here in Perth (Western Australia) is being really helpful even though I imported the lens. My 5D has been checked and I have many large aperture lenses that have no issues with perfect autofocus at all ranges.

I have tested the lens on an EOS 40D and it doesn't seem to have any issues of note, so for those who never plan to go full frame this is a great lens I wouldn't hesitate to buy.

Given that it is an EX DG lens from Sigma and should work properly on a full-frame body I cannot recommend this lens to anyone using a full frame body and from a resale or upgrade perspective buying one at this stage in time makes little or no sense for any user."

"In real life use, our Canon-mount sample performed well, with AF positive and reasonably fast under all but the most difficult conditions, using a variety of bodies from the 450D to the 5D (although as always, it must be noted that focus speed and accuracy is dependent upon a number of variables, including the camera body used, subject contrast, and light levels). However focusing was noticeably slower than Canon's own EF 50mm F1.4 USM and EF 50mm F1.8 II lenses, so this is still an area in which Sigma can improve. Focus accuracy was generally impressive, although with a certain tendency towards slight front-focus at close distances and F1.4, especially with low-contrast subjects. The lens also shows some evidence of a slight focus shift to the rear on stopping down, which meant our sample focused correctly when set to F2."
