    I got the 105 as soon as it came out and did the mount switch. Yeah, eye af sometimes miss but so far its been my main portrait/headshot lens. If you are shooting events where its easy to miss a moment dont get this, for studio work though where you can take your time this is one of the best lenses you can get.
