Man you are thorough. Would love to see this test on the 50-140 F2.8 with an X-T1, esp wide open on S and C autofocus, mostly sports/action where MF is not possible.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, this test will not work well when the camera is in AF mode. The AF operations appear to occur concurrently with the in-lens aperture stop-down operations, and since AF is generally slower than the lag during aperture stop-down, the lag is essentially hidden in such situations. Since most people use AF and not MF, it is why many people will not have noticed this pure lens stop-down lag at all...

Cheers,

Cass.
