Version 1 with whatever body I had could not see good enough with Modeling lights in studio shooting moving models shooting a clothing catalog so it was a big issue for me. That made me sell it immediately. It just hunted badly and in front of client it was almost a disaster. I had another lens but different focal length to survive it but It was a big issue. Is I blame the slow focus on lens mostly but agree it could have been body as well and no A7RV was out than. My backup lens worked fine, can't remember what it was but that one worked
I believe the issue at the time was that the lens wouldn’t open the aperture wide open while focusing. Even when you have it set to 1.4, it would focus with the aperture blades partially stopped down. And only open when taking the shot.
Changing the camera to “focus priority” on the body didn’t seem to help either. Not sure if this behavior has changed on present day camera bodies
That was possible and for me I had to be shooting on manual because of flash. Not sure and my memory sucks .
