I bought this lens two years ago, and returned it, being so frustrated with the clunky and unpredictable AF performance on my X-T3. It remains a very desirable lens for me and, based on the positive reviews of the lens that I've read, I'm thinking that I may have just had a bad copy.

Anyway, I'm now using an X-T4, and am seriously considering giving the lens another try. What do those of you who own this lens have to say?

I tried one (the original version) out on my X-T2 and found it to be quite good, better than good, actually. No problems with the AF at all. The best Viltrox I've used except for the stellar 13 f/1.4. I bet the new 75 f/1.2 is even better.
