Sigma 45 seemed to be the ideal lens for street- and everyday photography, but the af-performance is really disappointing.
What do you think, is it fundamentally a hardware issue? Or something that can be (will be) corrected with firmware update?
It has been discussed several times in this thread. The AF-S performance is very good, AF-C also works well in bright daylight.
I personally have no complaints about the AF in general.
When contrast is not very good (dim light) and in close range, the focus struggles. This is most likely due to spherical aberration and cannot be fixed with a firmware update.
However, maybe they can still improve the performance slightly with future updates.
And maybe Sony could improve on this as well (but I doubt that they will do that).
