Are you happy with the images and focus speed and accuracy?While waiting for 70-200mm to come back I wrapped my 24-70mm G2 in vinyl.

Yes. But I was almost happy with G1 version too. But G2 is a little more accurate because I adjust it on the Tap-in.Are you happy with the images and focus speed and accuracy?While waiting for 70-200mm to come back I wrapped my 24-70mm G2 in vinyl.

There are many different cameras and many different light situations and many different subjects. It is almost impossible to ascertain every single situation. That said I have problems sometime in very drabby light on people faces that are too dark or too light or in back lit situations.Thanks I am reading up on these now as I need to replace my old Tokina 29-70 2.8 AF-D which is having focusing issues.Yes.

I am seeing some users say that focus is not great in low light but then I see images from others of stage performances in low light etc.
What are your thoughts on the AF? i.e, Speed, lock on, accuracy and low light.
Thanks!

For example this was taken with the flash but if I was not using flash I would have to use ISO 12800 or higher with these parameters. The camera wanted to focus on the background for some reason.
On the next one camera focused just fine albeit at slow pace only because there was some contrast.
Other than that lens focuses very accurately and fast even in low light.

It looks like you think he's a beginner. This isn't the beginner's advice forum. Don't you recognise the situation he's photographing in?
Thank you.
I do, but not center. Will explain below.
I do.
I have to use flash because room is very dark. It is over 100 feet long 50 feet wide and so high that chandeliers that are 30 years old and dirty don't produce much light. And unlike normal red carpet they don't use back lights, ever, because there are many rooms like these and every hour another press conference going on so it would cost too much for workers to move the lights from room to room. And ComicCon can't afford to buy lights for every room. But this particular room can accommodate a large amount of people like photographers, video people (5 times as many as photographers) and table interviewers, 10x as many as photographers. Oh, and this room does not have windows. Other smaller rooms have windows (still no lights in the back) and I don't have problems there.
They do sometimes have separate area for the fans behind the barrier and with a lot of security. But we get talent first.
One shot but I took 15 or more.
Member obviously can't handle the back and forth of the internet, and retreats into weak sarcasm in responses.
Normally I use single point but sometimes I use 9 depending on the distance. If I use single I focus on the eye and slightly recompose. If I use 9 I focus on the face which in most cases ends up focusing on the eye anyway because the eyes are the most contasty feature of the face as long as the person is not blond with blue eyes. I have tried focus priority on D5 and it works great in the dark as long as the talent acts normal. But if someone points toward me it becomes a disaster. Few months ago I was at the small theater also dark with only small lights on the ceiling. They did not bring big lights because there was no room. And it was Stan Lee awards. He likes to point fingers at people so all my shots pointing at me were blurry because camera was focusing on his hand. Luckily all other shots him pointing at photographers next to me came out OK.
I don't know why this happening in these particular rooms. I asked around and other photogs have exactly the same problem. I can even hear that others have a problem because they constantly asking for re-shoots. I just got new flash brackets with a room for a small battery operated video light. I am thinking using it in these rooms just for focusing. Oh, and pattern generated by the flash in AF-S does not work either for some reason.
