Nice review, thanks!

How do you find the AI-Servo accuracy?

I have seen a number of reports, including a thread on another well-known forum, with people, including some wedding photographers, who love lots about this lens but have been left disappointed with unreliable AI Servo performance.

One of the biggest benefits I have found since getting a 5D mark iv (I was previously using a 6D and 80D) is that all of a sudden the AF on my 85mm 1.8 has gone from being decidedly iffy to becoming extremely reliable. It has been like getting a new lens! And the IQ is really not too shabby at all.

Having said that, this new lens is certainly very interesting, and you present its advantages in a fair and balanced manner, though it would be a massive shame if the AF reports are true.

Thanks again.

Shane

I've not noticed any AF issues with servo
