I know this isn't what you asked, but I just mounted my 16-55 on a friend's X-Pro2, and the AF seemed practically instantaneous, even indoors - at least, on objects with good contrast. With lower contrast there is a small delay, but the lock came with almost no hunting. That coupled with the near-silent AF motors of the 16-55 made for a really nice shooting experience.

Putting his 35/2 on my X-T1, there was a clear difference in AF speed.

Yes I concur. Even indoors the 16-55/2.8 focuses instantaneously on the X-Pro2. I was pleasantly surprised by this when I first tried the combination. It's faster than all the prime XF lenses that I have.
