If I'm shooting something a bit closer or further away than my usual distances I will maybe tweak my adjustments a little bit. Most of the people struggling with the f1.2 or 1.4 are probably using center focus then recomposing and at those apertures you are going to move that razor dof. It's also worth noting that when you microadjust you need to stick to the minimum recommended distances for the focal length of the lens or you will get the focus nailed at some distances from your subject and not others. If you have issues with focus shift just adjust to the aperture you use most!

It's focus shifting caused by floating elements. You're not going to find a good copy(in this aspect), they all display this. It's a very WELL KNOWN problem with the lens.
I've seen really good results with the lens though, and enjoyed using it.
