Is the 18-55 a slow lens compared to the 100-400?

Re: Is the 18-55 a slow lens compared to the 100-400?

I have been using it for years and always found it was the slowest zoom AF in the Fuji range. The 18-1355 is really faster so is the 55-140mm not talking about 100-400mm or the 10-24mm

That said for me it works fine without annoying delay Since most of the FL is UWA and WA, the size of the AF sensor does matter since in UWA and WA the target might be small in the frame

Ialso use shutter with focus priority, in AFS this avoids blurred shots
