10. Autofocus

The Sigma's 2.8/90 autofocus combined with the newer body of the Sony A7R IV is noiseless and quite quick. Running through the whole distance range and confirming the focus takes from 0.4 to 0.6 of a second and it doesn't seem to depend on the direction of the movement of the mechanism.

After attaching the lens to an older body, the Sony A7R III, we didn't notice any significant change – once again the performance was noiseless and quick. We think it was even a tad quicker in fact – the times, registered by us, more often than not kept the range from 0.4 to 0.5 of a second.

The accuracy of the autofocus can't be called outstanding. The percentage of misses for both bodies was the same, amounting to about 5-6%, a higher value than in case of system lenses used with the same camera bodies.

We didn't notice any distinct front or back focus tendency.
