But I was quick to write it off to my own inexperience with “fly by wire” control loops. Well as it turns out, there was some real lag but it is fixed with a simple firmware update, so I did not put that footage back into the video as manual focus lag appears to have been corrected** Enjoy the review - this is a killer lens!
