I can confirm this point. I had the same issues when I searched for a 30/1.4 and noticed it more than
once when I borrowed my lens to friends (who then were not happy with it on their cameras).

Why not get the Canon 28mm 1.8 (or Nikon 35mm 1.8 if you are a Nikon user) instead? The canon has the huge advantage of reliable focus over the Sigma.Its disadvantages are only heavy CA which can be corrected quite easily and sub-par border sharpness, which doesnt matter much for low light pictures for which you would use such a lens. I sue it on crop and on full frame and I am very satisfied. I would not print larger than A3+/13x18" from this lens though.
