I never had any issues with the autofocus (though I wasn’t photographing demanding scenarios requiring twitch reactions), but I too wasn’t that impressed with the overall output. It looked somewhat lifeless IMHO (I know many will disagree, but this is how I personally felt) and actually prompted me to return it (I felt like I was spending a lot more time in post than I like). I think I am going to see what the rumored 135mm prime looks like and then see where to go from there.

It's all indeed pretty lifeless and they need much more processing work. Will stick to the Ef version for now.
