Got home, opened the box and mounted the lens. It doesn't look good. AF on AF-S is no problem at any aperture at 24mm. At 105mm, it achieves critical focus at f/4. At f/8 it appears to try to get to critical focus but 'settles' at a point that is out of focus. I can see the AF very briefly 'flash' at the critical focus point but then falls back to yield an out of focus result. I don't even need to take the image as I can see all of this in the viewfinder.
The brief moment you see it in focus is while the lens is still at f/4 during the AF cycle. Once the aperture is returned back to f/8 for the "Live View Settings ON" preview you get the sad truth
