I should add, that recently I've been playing a bit. Although trivial, but it appears that if I force only center sensor to be used in AF'ing then of course it seems that AF becomes faster. As far as I remember MZ-S has less AF sensors than K10D. So perhaps it plays a certain role in the equation.

Thanks, Paul. I love this lens, a lot, but it is heavy for me, and more times than not I use it with a tripod, and I'm ok with walking about with a tripod, BUT, I need more practice hand-holding the lens, which will happen when the weather improves. If you have any suggestions to improve
