Anyone using the Sigma 85 1.4?

If so how is it? I am thinking of getting it very soon over the Canon 1.2L version as I've read fantastic reviews.

I'm curious as well. I've got the Siggy 50 and 30 and I love both of them. I've got the Cannon 85 1.8, and it's by far my least used f/l. The 1.8 is a nice lens, and I'm finding it hard to justify buying the Siggy for a f/l I'll seldom use. Especially when I have no complaints about the Canon 1.8.

Besides, it'll probably front and/or back focus, and won't be sharp at 1.4.

Don't have the lense, but whenever I'm interested in the performance of any type of lense, I check flickr groups.

Here is the 85mm 1.4 Group: Flickr: Sigma 85mm F/1.4 EX DG HSM

The little sub forums in there usually have good hands on info regarding the lense.
