Tested out CAF burst shooting today in not very good weather - dark and not great for focusing, however I think this turned out not too bad on the E-M1 mk1.

I realize this is a bit old, but with an EM1.2 what kind of C-AF FPS rates can this lens support well? I understand that for the full 18 FPS usually pro lenses are required, but curious on what your findings have been.

Don't know if this helps, but the 150/2.0 can hit about 12 fps in high burst C-AF wide open--slowing considerable if stopped down. The low-burst C-AF speed is sixish fps, and that's important since low-burst C-AF remains active while high-burst locks focus on first frame. Will speculate the zoom is similar but don't have one.

Cheers,

Rick
