I have used this lens quite a bit on my SL3 for mostly portraiture and some landscape/still life shots and it is absolutely spectacular with regard to image quallity, color and bokeh. One of the best lenses I own, but I decided to take it out for a run at some street photography with my S1RII and I have to say that I was frustrated by it's AF performance for those decisive moment shots. It was slow to lock on and sometimes missed, regardless of how I set the focus algorithms on the camera. I usually use spot, area or zone, so that I am not reliant on the camera's subject detection capabilities, but even those were slow and hit or miss. I really don't like subject detection (human, body, eye) for street, as it often gets my intended target wrong.
A brilliant studio or slow shooting process lens, but it left me with little confidence as a street lens. In fact the Lumix 50mm 1.8 S performed much better. It just doesn't render the same way, even though its a beuatiful sharp lens in it's own right.
Anyone else experience this with their 50 S Pro lens?
