I had it for a while and found AF fine in AF-S, sharp enough close up at f2.8 and fantastic at f4. Compared to the FE 35/1.8 whose AF is superlative it lacked, but compared to most mirrorless body and lens combinations I’ve used in the last ten plus years, this lens performs better than most when on current gen Sony bodies like my A7R4. So totally usable in historical terms, just not at current best standards.
Lovely rendering, I miss it and may get another. Wish more AF lenses like the 45 and the Nikon 581.4 were produced (tempted to get a cheap used z6 just for that lens).

Edit: added a bit of a crop to give a sense of sharpness
