Secondly, the lens was slow to operate. Switching from one couple to another was taking up so much time.

That’s probably not the lens fault but which ever camera you used in your dark conditions

It took way too long until it focused on the next subject. As if it made a very smooth focus pull for video. And that is IF it immediately focused on the new subject. I often had to actuate the AF 2 of 3 times for it to properly focus. Causing me to miss unfortunately a lot of moments. I didn't have this problem with the EF version on the R.
