My Sony FE 50mm f2.8 Macro (Slow Focusing Noise Generator)

[VTC]

Saw some other videos of this lens and they appear to focus rather quickly. Mine doesn't and makes bunches of noise. Made this sample video before I return it. Focuses within allowable limits when set to VIDEO but set it for PHOTOS and you wait for the see-sawing action to stop before it locks on. This test done from a tripod to a static poster. The thing would be useless out in the field as it's pretty much useless right now indoors.
