If you've been using Canon's newest version of the 24-105mm for sports, I'd appreciate hearing about your experience with AF.

For shots from next to the goal in soccer, I had very good results from the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS, but not as many accurately focused shots with the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS. Seems to lag no matter which focus modes/options I've tried. Works great for pretty much everything else but medium to near distance action shots, especially groups of players rushing towards the goal.

I find the 24-105mm range very useful for expressions and the jostling of players as they approach the goal. (I keep a 100-500mm ready to go for action farther away. No complaints!)

Thanks!
