X-shooter and FXF member Matthias46 was out for an official work with his brand new Fujifilm X-T2. His job? Photograph a Hockey Game. I’ll let you see the images here at the Fuji X Forum and just share his feedback regarding the AF-speed:
“First official work. I’d say is pretty pretty good. I need more experience in tweaking the Autofocus to my liking, but with the Universal one the behaviour is really good! Never used my Canon 1Dx that i brought as insurance.”

Another one, who seems to be extremely satisfied with the X-T2 AF-performance is Bob Roman. In his video he says:
“I took a sequence of pictures of Samantha. It was a burst of 54 images using the XF56mmF1.2 @ f/1.2. I had the camera in face/eye detect [NOTE: this disables the faster Phase Detection], continuous Autofocus, and this burst of 54 images, 51 were in focus!
Now she was walking towards me, not a particularly difficult task, but what’s important to notice is that I was shooting with the XF56mmF1.2 lens, not one of the fastest AF-performers amongst the Fuji lenses. I was also shooting wide open at 1.2! As you can see, the camera performed exceptionally well! [NOTE: This performance has been achieved without vertical battery grip]”
Ok guys, I slowly start to be cautiously optimistic, that the Fujifilm X-T2 Autofocus is really quite a big step forward compared to the X-T1.
