Everything is relative. AF with the 85 f/1.2 is a bit slower than with several of my other lenses. This has been pointed out many times before. Nevertheless, it works great for a situation like this one —concerts, portraits, candids. No problem at all with AF. That being said, I would not recommend it to photograph professional ice hockey... ;)

Nice picture. Bar/club stage lighting is usually pretty horrible... slow lenses are usually destroyed in those situations.
