Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art, should I worry?

I was wrong about Sigma. After testing it better with no rush, I figured out that it was user's mistake, not the lens. Somehow it needs a bit time to focus properly, and I need to pay attention to hold the camera steady, like SR does not help much with this beast.
It's not easy lens for sure, but the result is amazing.
Gonna keep it!

Mine goes in my bag quite often, but doesn't get the usage it deserves. It would probably get more if I had human subjects to shoot. Certainly an interesting, if quirky, lens.

Yep, that lens is not for wildlife. Even my cats hate anything wider than 70mm.
You can shoot flowers, I guess. Well, no need to spend around 1K for that for sure
