I think I found the slow setting to be fast enough anyway , and more precise .

The fast setting I think sometimes missed focus more often .

So I think all my cameras are set to slow , a700,a900 & a77ii .

I think it was my a100 that killed a Sigma 75-300mm , no great loss !

Thanks, it will be interesting to compare fast and slow focusing in my cameras.

I also have an A550 which I perceived as being much faster at focusing then those that preceeded it - but it doesn't have a Fast and Slow AF setting. I suspect I had better keep the Sigma lenses away from it.

I think it is always a time of sadness and regret when any lens dies.
My second hand A7s showed up in the mail today, and I put an LA-EA4 adapter on it, together with a really old and cheap Sigma 28-75  f/3.5 to 5.6 (same as the A7 kit lens).
It will be interesting to see if I will be regretting its passing in the near future.
Cheers,
Renato
