One of the reasons that I was interested in the DA 55 was that having its own motor, I thought it should focus more quickly. When I was using it the other night to photograph dancing, however, it seemed really slow to focus. It also seemed to need to "hunt focus" more than a lot of lenses, rather than just snapping to focus, it would rack all the way out, and then back into focus. My 16-50 is normally quite good about focusing quickly, but I tend to only use it where there is a lot of light (at least by my standards of a lot of light).

I couldn't compare it directly with my FA50 as it was in heavy use by someone else.

Has anyone else run into these issues?
