That’s great to hear. It’s not that good on the S5 II unfortunately. Maybe it runs a lower voltage and can’t drive the motors as fast.

The AF is easily fast enough to grab fast running dog towards you and perfectly accurate too.

Hi Deron, I’m glad it was useful. I actually have an old 70-200mm f/2.8L IS (mk1), but it’s in storage at the moment, and I won’t be able to try it for a couple of months. My gut tells me it will perform a little better than the 135.

While I do not own the 135mm, I do own the 200mm f/2.8 L and love that lens. I would imagine that it will behave similarly to the 135 when attached to the S5 II.
