Fot Magazin rates Nikon and Sony cameras traditionally very high, so if one want sto talk about bias... there you go. And then there is the fact that Sony and Nikon are their biggest advertisers.
Just writing nonsense about them without actually knowing the magazin well is just showing bias too. In the issue I mentioned, who has the top spot in the ads? Sony, on the back page. "Kodak" on the inside sleeve back page, Tamron on the front sleeve inside page.
Foto Magazin is the only print publication I have come across which does such investigative tests periodically, sometimes with AF tracking tests and in this particular issue AF accuracy. No one here apparently has read the test and seen its results, yet some are bound to discredit the publication and the test results. Talk about bias. I can tell you that the test seems to be very methodical and thorough, with graphs of the test results and detailing what all they have taken into account (lens "Wirkungsgrad" wide open, direction of the AF start, bright daylight and low inside light conditions, 15 shots per AF type/light condition run.
The resulting graphs speak for themselves.
