I was lucky as well. Only one copy but without any problems whatsoever other than wide open CA, which didn't trouble me much. Sharp as tack from f/1.8 onwards, superb AF, small, cheap, what more could I have asked? In fact, [url="http://forum.photozone.de/index.php?/topic/795-next-pz-lens-test-report-sigma-af-85mm-f14-hsm-ex-dg/page__view__findpost__p__7312"]the 85/1.8 is my dream 85mm lens[/url] and if I'd feel the need for a 85mm lens I wouldn't hesitate to buy another copy.
Talk about different copies. I had the same setup and my rating would be the exact opposite i.e. 85 > 50 > 28.

Yes, that is what most people report.
I had a really good 28, so good in fact, that I was really worried about getting a 24L, until I had really established it was a lot better, and didn't really need the 28 as a backup <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Kind regards, Wim
