My images were not the best focussed ones out of a whole series of the same framing and subject, they were just one shot and done. The 55mm f2 with adapter will consistently nail focus, that is just the way it is.

 

I have never said that my 450D focussed well with every lens, stating so is again just mocking things. My 350D was very inconsistent with my Sigma 18-50mm f2.8. The Sigma does great on my friends (gave it to him) 450D, but the Tokina 12-24mm f4 was not good in focussing on the 450D (it did well on the 350D).

And above I stated already that my crappy 28-135mm does not focus accurately on my 6D. 

 

Stating that a MILC will focus "perfectly every single time with every lens in everycondition." is just nonsense too.

 

I have no confidence at all in your anecdotes, as you keep on even misrepresenting the posts I wrote that you reply to, so can't rely on what you say. I can however rely on Foto Magazin doing a very good test with "comparable" lenses in identical conditions with a 70D, D7100, K3, 77 II, E-M1, GH4, 6000. The Canon, with ancient EF 50mm f1.4 USM got 95.4% AF accuracy (images in focus) with PD AF and 95% with CD AF. The Oly 91.2%, the Pana 85.5%, the Sony 85%.

 

So, a methodical and objective test got those results. But my images from the 450D and that fixed focus lens are not good enough for you, nor the Foto Magazin test (from September 2014), nor the pro's who use the 5D mk III and 5Ds and tell about its focus acquisition performance. And no, they do NOT shoot 10 images in the hope that a few maybe nailed focus, with a 85mm f1.2, 50mm f1.2, 200mm f2.

 

No, when I go shoot flowers with my 6D + EF 70-200mm f4 lens I do not get a high percentage of images that are OOF. No, I don't shoot every subject 4 times in the hope at least one is in focus. And no, I have not done any MFA on my 6D. Maybe your friend should try a 1D-X.

 

On monday, I shot a quick snapshot of my girlfriend's dog while I was walking the dog. With my 6D and my EF 35mm f2 wide open, just to try out that lens again on my 6D. I just now checked how the focus was nailed:

Sorry that that lens is not sharper wide open. It is a very old design and can't keep up with the new 35mm f1.4's , f1.8's and f2's from Canon, Sigma, Tamron. Or the 23mm from Fuji or the 22mm f2 on my EOS M. It is sharp enough anyway (will sharpen fine in PP I am sure). I still keep it because it is so small and light, just a fun little lens.

Maybe I should have shot it 10 times in the hope the focus would be OOF?
