Fuji XF 35mm f2 hunting focus a lot
1

hi all,

i just picked up a Fuji XF 35mm f2.0 lens.  I'm reading everywhere how fast this lens is in autofocus and for some reason mine is slow.  I compared it to a 35 f1.4 lens I rented from Lensrentals and in my tests their autofocus was pretty close on an X-t1 body.  Both hunted focus a lot but eventually locked on but slow to get there.  I assumed the f2 lens would be faster but mine isn't.

i have a 16mm, 23mm and 56mm all of which autofocus significantly faster!  Did I get a bad copy of this 35mm f2 or am I missing something?  I checked firmware versions and I'm up to date on both lens and body.

for those that own this lens.  Besides the 35f1.4 is this the f2 version one of the slower autofocus prime's out there right now or do you think I may have a bad copy?

Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR Fujifilm X-T1
