Originally posted by Na Horuk And the DFA 100mm is amazing, but its AF can be slow sometimes (macro lens, won't ever be as snappy as a regular prime).
This is true, and it's the only really annoying thing about this lens. I bought it for work, thinking more focal length in a macro was always better. For most things I do, it would be - but there were too many occasions where I found I needed a wider FOV. So now it does duty for me as a fast-ish short telephoto prime, where the quick-shift focus gets me close and I let the AF do the rest.
I don't use it much at all, really, and if I'd bought the 35/2.8 macro first I would never have looked at it twice... but having now bought it, it's too good a lens to get rid of.
