Used though has been wonderful. I've been getting RF lenses refurbished straight from canon for 50% the price of retail such as the 28-70 F2 for only $1699 last year.
(1) it is not as sharp as the Sigma / Sony 50mm f/1.4 lenses,
(2) the AF needs working on. It's not bad, but not Sigma level, let alone Sony level, and
(3) I own over fifty 50mm lenses. They are mostly Manual Focus vintage lenses (plus two 50mm f0.95 Chinese MF lenses and a couple 50mm f.18 AF lenses.) I can autofocus 95% of them using the Fotodiox Pronto AF adapter.
So yeah, if I need a slowly autofocusing 50mm f1.4 or f1.2 that's not optically perfect, I have tons of those. I think if I buy a modern 50mm f.14 or f1.2 lens, it should be near perfect.
I expect the Samyang 50mm f1.4 Mark III to be out in a year or two with improved AF and optical performance. Maybe that'll be the one to buy?
Alas Sigma lenses don't really go on massive sales ever. Nor do Sonys. Samyangs do.
Not really worried about tax since I visit 0 sales tax state often.
Looking to own before end of the year. I have no rush.
Want to see what my chances are if I pass this $975.
