I have not tested AF with the lens + EM5 combo (it was really slow on regular 4/3, already) but MF works just fine, of course. Remember, ultrasonic motors don't play terribly well with CDAF.
Yes, I have heard that fex Oly´s SWD-lenses are pretty slow to AF on m4/3, but never have I heard they would not AF at all...
As what Sigma regards, this is not one of their older lenses, thgus I would not think it would not focus at all. Slow = OK, zero AF = not very ok with me...
The seller infomed me very clearly that AF would be very slow. Not a word about NO AF though.
Manual may work when shooting a totally still subject w camera on tripod, but I would be content with slow AF for all other occasions wher I planned to use this lens. AF is much too convenient to give up, getting 100% dependent on manual focus with almost no DOF...I found it very hard to manual focus even w enlarging the focus square.
But I could very well live with that if only I also could use AF at chosen occasions...
The MMF-3 adapter I got (from same seller) works perfectly well, with fex my 14-54, 50/2 and a couple other Oly kit lenses I own.
Thanks for you reply!
