Michael Schaake puts the Fuji X-T2 continuous autofocus through its paces

Back when Fujifilm X-Photographer Michael Schaake was also a Nikon user, he used to take part in workshops for photographing dogs in action with the X-T1 and D750. As he states in his article, he achieved very different results with the two brands:

I had the X-T1 and the D750 with me. The X-T1 gave me around 45% in focus shots while the Nikon D750 gave me around 65%.

Curious to find out just how much better the continuous autofocus algorithm is compared to the previous generation of Fujifilm cameras, he decided to use a pre-production Fujifilm X-T2 for the same genre.

For his test, he photographed a black labrador running toward him using the small zone focus AF mode, burst speeds of either 11 fps or 5 fps with live view, and the various new C-AF modes. Even though the firmware is still beta, he found that the results were comparable to those he achieved with the D750.
