I’m referring to his claim on the AF as blatantly false. Of course his subjective opinion about the lens quality can be argued, I even suggest I might agree, but his subjective opinion is made to look less worthwhile when he makes a false claim about AF that’s so... well, clearly false.

what is blatantly false about my experience with the AF?

That the lens focuses slower than the EF. It’s false, by a magnitude that makes it comical to anyone that’s actually used the lenses.

Never said that.

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

Anyhow, this thread wasn’t really worth much to begin with (without pics), so I’ll move on.
