Is focus fast on this with the X-T1?

I dont have an xt1 but it was fast enough on the xe1 especially with the updates its an excellent lens.

I don't know if it was the particular copy, but on my X-T1 it was considerably slower than 18-55 mm and louder!

It's important to remember that with the FT1 you only get the center focus point, so if you try to get birds in flight, you'll most likely need to use manual focus. As well, Best Moment Capture and Best Photo Selector will not work either. I like Best Photo Selector becasue it buffers 2 seconds, so if you shoot at first movement you are likely to get the bird just as it takes off. If you can live with these limitations then you should be fine. Oh, I should mention that I have only used this with Tamron and Sigma lenses - maybe with actual Nikon lenses it works - check it out.

I have both and I wouldn't change the D600 for the X-T1 for serious, payed or critical work. Although it's my opinion for the photography I do... maybe for you is different. I would suggest renting one for a week or so, try it extensively and come to a decision. Cheers.

Mine did the same thing but pretty much all the way thru the zoom function. I sent it back and ordered the HS50EXR glad I did, zooming is real smooth, focus is faster ect. Well worth the extra cost.

Even better. The 1.4 is rock solid compared to the flimsy 1.8, and slightly faster. Ten times as expensive, but may be worth it. If you're still thinking of adding a new zoom to your arsenal, look at the 24-105L, as well. It's pretty much a coin toss, as far as IQ, with the 24-70L, but it adds IS. So, it's one stop slower, but it gains about 3 stops due to the IS, so it's actually better for low-light than the "faster" lens. And longer, too.

No. It's a 20mm prime (fixed) which gives you a wider field of view and the f/1.7 means it's pretty fast. I like this lens for indoors without having to use a flash.

I use it with the t1i and it works great. Very fast and accurate focus. This lens is one of my best purchases.

I'm not really an expert here; this is my first Fuji. I'm normally a Canon guy, but I was disappointed with my G9, so I thought I would give the Fuji a try. So far, it has been good.As far as I know, dimensionally, the X10 and the X20 are the same. I bought a lens shade that was designed for the X10, and that works fine.

No, it isn't. For similar money you can get the fabulous Fujifilm XS-1, or the Fujifilm HS30exr is cheaper but has a smaller sensor. Both have full auto modes, and both have large zooms so you c\n get close to the action. They also have image stabilisation built in. If you decide to take a tripod as well, whatever camera you take make sure image stabilisation is turned off whenever you use it, or if you take a shot with the camera resting on a surface, or even if you use a monopod. Remember hat, and you can stick to auto for all else.

I have also the XF18-55. The XF27 is a little slower than the 18-55 and a little less accurate when tries to find focus (under difficult and not contrasty conditions). But in general i'm happy with this lens, is not for sports but for street photography for example is fine. Also is very sharp and small and with my X-E2 i can take it everywhere.

HiThere does not appear to be any lag. Hit the shutter button and you have it. By the way, I am a professional photographer and I owned the original RX100. Did not like it as I felt the lens and/or sensor was simply not sharp enough for my needs. I sold it after 3 months. The Mark 3 is fabulous and Sony has fixed the problems PLUS added an EVF. This camera lens/sensor combo is really sharp and I am delighted with it. It is my "carry around" always camera.Good luck and well wishes!- Phil Johannes

Yes, I have a T2i with 2 kit lens. I purchased the 50mm f1.8 and it's a wonderful little lens, great for portraits and closeups. I recently (literally a day ago) bought the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 without VC. All I can say is WOW. For less than $500 I finally found a lens that does everything really well. Photos and videos. It's super sharp and super fast. I didn't get the VC version of this lens as I've read mixed reviews about softness. The older lens is beautiful!

Well the one i bought in 10-2013 does have a AF motor fairly quick, not to noisy unless theres a dead silence,but fir the most part its great at finding the focus point and snap,your done.

As a previous owner of D600, I think I can honestly answer this question. In my opinion, I love XT1 a lot more than D600. XT-1 performs a lot better in low light and also has beautiful colors that easily beats Nikon. X-T1's burst mode and focus tracking is amazing as well. Hope this helps.

Thus far I did not experience any issues with focusing - worked fine for me. Moreover, XS-1 has a manual focus mode with the focusing ring conveniently located on the lens housing and a switch on the body to select manual focusing mode, so if you get into a situation that auto-focus does not work for you, it is very easy to override it.
