Ah, here you go. So between your Canon bodies and various lenses, you pretty much had random luck in terms of accuracy.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

I tested about 8 MFT lenses on more than 4 bodies. All lenses with every single body focused pretty much perfectly. There is simply no AF accuracy discrepancy.

Now I shoot Fuji. I have 5 lenses. All 5 lenses focus spot on. Again, no AF accuracy discrepancy.

With a DSLR it's just a nightmare to not know how well or bad a lens will focus before buying it. Fiddling with micro-adjustments, testing procedures, etc. With mirrorless the issue is simply non-existent.

 

This is what I mean by reliability. The same simply doesn't hold true with a DSLR, as you stated yourself.

 

Anyone who is objective and reasonable would come to the same conclusion.

Why is it so difficult for you to admit that AF on a mirrorless camera is more reliable than AF on a DSLR?

 

On a final note, can you please answer these questions in all honesty:

• On a DSLR, which is more accurate (when shooting a still subject): PDAF or CDAF?
  
• Isn't it true to say that Canon and Nikon DSLRs provide AF micro-adjustments as an attempt to correct AF accuracy issues?
  

 

You are funny. The 350D was a DSLR from 2005, and it was famous for its temperamental AF (could have been a Pentax ). The lens was a Sigma with a simple DC motor, which gave terrible results with live view on the 450D.

The Tokina, what can I say. It was a Tokina. More crude AF motor action can't be found.

 

Yes, my 28-135mm Canon lens is defective. Is that defective old zoom a good example of how big aperture lenses on modern Canon DSLRs perform? No, of course not.
