Zeiss Vario Sonnar 24-85 Focussing Speed

Hi Folks,

I've just had my N1 and 24-85 returned from Japan after repair (thanks to Manchester Airport Security!).
I think that the auto focus speed is slow. The battery is new as well. It takes just over a second to move from near focus to infinity. It seems a lot slower than before. how does that compare to yours? If it is too slow I will have to send it back.
Also when you zoom in and out do you feel a small jet of air coming out of the lower left rear of the camera body by the dc input?

Regards,

Paul
 
The focus speed is not the greatest, but the 24-85 does focus pretty good.

The air coming out of the N1 - now there's something different. I don't recall that ever happening with mine.
