Well the dog isn't exactly tearing up the track...

Oh, definitely not. And I don't believe that it could keep up if she were, at least not with my skills. My point was just that many people are scared to even try this lens because of people who say the AF is "completely unusable". I've lost count of the number of times I've seen that said.

The purpose of this post was to prove these hyperbolic exclaimers absolutely wrong. I've shown that the AF, in the hands of someone who has never used it before, can even keep up with a dog casually pacing around, and with a single AF point, no less. I'd hardly call that "completely unusable".
