Hi,

You main problem is the lens. The 35/1.4 is famous for slow AF. Don't expect wonders with newer bodies. Even my X-Pro 2 is rather slow with this lens.

Hello,

So you think a XA1 with the 35mm F2 will focus faster than a XE2 or even a XPro2 with a 35mm F1.4?

Renaud.

I have no idea. I do not own an X-A1 or the 35/2. The only thing I said was that the 35/1.4 is a slow lens when it comes to AF.

I read somewhere here that the 35/2 takes advantage of phase detection AF points so most likely it will focus much faster with bodies that have this feature.
