Impressive shots...How is focusing with X-Pro2 and 90mm f2? I have 90mm slapped on X-T10 but the focusing speed in lowlight leaves more to be desired. How is it with X-Pro2?

It's been less than two weeks, but I haven't noticed any issues with focusing.  Everything seems snappy and predictable.  It's certainly much better than the original x-pro, and seems even better than the x-t1 (although the x-t1 had so many other variables in trying to use selective focus points I wouldn't compare the two).

I wouldn't say it's equal to my nikon d4s, as that just isn't the case, but I am very happy with performance across all lenses used (14, 18, 23, 35, 56, 90).

That said I've spent some time using the tracking and other modes, which seem good, but haven't spent enough time yet to form a worthwhile opinion.

I'm confident enough that I've just purchased the 16-55 and 50-140 to see how far I can push against any limits.
