I loved mine, too, until all of the internal screws fell out. Then I sent it back to be repaired and since I got it back, it seems like the focus is off. I can't get a clear focus on infinity and close focusing seems a lot more finicky that it did before. I've hesitated to send it back in because maybe it's my eyes acting up again. :-( But I don't seem to be having any trouble with my 75/1.4!! I hate equipment problems.< Hi Tina, I'm sorry to hear of your problems with the f 1.2 CV 35mm lens. I've grabbed a solid hold on wood as I type this just in case. But mine, as far as I'm concerned, has been a dream machine lens since it arrived! I've used it on three different M8's and a few images offan M7 and each it has operated perfectly. The more surprising has been the extreme blow-ups during cropping from an M8 image that it has cut on the sensor. Maybe it's just the sensor, but they have been wonderful. I don't imagine your problem is your eyes, certainly if your 75mm is fine. Maybe try to get the lens replaced? I realize that's easier said than happens. :-( Unfortunately! ted
