The autofocus works silently but it is definitely not fast. The reason? Too wide distance range which must be served and the specificity of work, based on the contrast detection. As a result in the FULL mode running through the whole scale can take you even almost 4 seconds. The situation improves greatly when we set the LIMIT mode because then the time is shortened to near one second.

The lens didn’t have any problems with accuracy or back and/or front focus tendencies.
