I am planning to get used copy from member. How is the focusing during ai-servo with 70d. I am struggling with my sigma lens with ai-servo. I am thinking of trying with Canon lens. Canon RP with 24-240mm

I don't think I've used it much in AI-Servo on my 70D but my guess is that it would be great. Aaron

sirquack Goldmember  More info | May 06, 2016 14:44 | #3742 I agree with Solepatch about the focus speed on the 85 1.8. It is far and away my faster focusing lens. I use it for kids and sports regularly. Not on the 70D, but I use it on both my 6D and my 7D2 and they both shine with this lens attached. Name is Ron.

I am really surprised how great these Canon lens in terms of focusing great in so many camera generations. Where as 30mm non art , art and 17-50mm lens which Sigma is still making, are never worked properly in servo focusing for me. Canon RP with 24-240mm

sirquack Goldmember More info | Actually my Sigma 30mm non-art is my second fastest focusing lens. And that includes AI server on my crop body. So maybe it was just copy variation. Name is Ron.
