Yeah, I agree with that-- unless I hear of user reports that indicate that the lens is focusing better, because Sigma has fixed the problem or some other reason, I will probably pass on this and get the Sigma 18-35 instead.
Although the AF performance kind of reminds me of my FA 35-- which, while quick, is not always accurate. So, I get sharp, beautiful pictures when the AF is on target, but I usually have to take a few pictures to get the one keeper. Not sure I want to have to do that with a brand-new, modern Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens.
Ahh..... I guess I'll hold on to my smc-F 28mm and FA 35 for now instead of selling both to get this Sigma. And the FA 31 is now back on my wish list...
