How is AF speed with this combination?

I once had a Sigma 60mm, but with the Panasonic G2 AF was hunting very often even in good light and with high contrast. Even when it had aquired focus, it started to do a full circle to minimum focus distance and back again, if I just tried to frame a little differently.

I sent the lens back, but I miss it's IQ and sometimes think that it might work better with a more modern body.

Here's a quick burst sequence that I captured today. It was hot so we shot this in the shade... still the G7 and Sigma lens held focus (mostly). AF was set to continuous/ single area af which was held over face or shirt.

(OK... so it's not slow) *Entire sequence shot wide open*
