Viltrox still has the new firmware in Beta, but they released a second version of it on March 6th. I installed it and noted the focus speed has improved somewhat, and the lens does lock on faster without as much hunting. It's not up to my 56/1.2, but it's very good.

I think this is the most relevant feedback I've seen on this lens as it relates to autofocus.

The 56 f1.2 is one of the worst (if not the worst) Fuji lens when it comes to autofocus speed.    I've seen a lot of people opting to buy this lens instead of the new 56mm because Fuji decided to use the same old slow autofocus motors in the new 56mm.  Well this is now one less reason to purchase the 75mm 1.2.

Thanks for sharing this detail.
