Regards fast and slow AF , it might be better to call it "standard AF Speed " and "faster AF Speed" .

All cameras work as a standard / slow speed .

Only certain cameras have the faster setting .

So the A5** models don't have two options , they don't have the hardware for the faster speed , hence the absence of a "fast " setting .

It's just some lenses are more susceptible and being old lenses have more wear to the gears .

I had the a580 , and although I would call the AF speed satisfactory it certainly wasn't fast .

Again, thanks very much.
That's comforting news with respect to Sigma lens usage on my A550.
