I’ve been holding off posting first impressions of this lens on my website for the very reason you note. On my X-T4, there seems to be a focusing algorithm issue. Even with eye AF, it pulses and will lock when the eye is clearly not in focus. In comparison, my F1 lens, which has even slower AF than the new F1.2, does not show this behaviour. I think a firmware update is required, as the lens otherwise works fine in AF-S and MF modes.

That's good to know.  I've considered swapping the lens, but B&H is closed until next Wednesday, so I may have to wait.  But from what you are mentioning it may be that the lens is too new and is in need an AF update.  Thanks for sharing.
