Mirrorless propaganda is just that;  never helpful, only tries to destroy other choices.

toni_a: fast lenses were available during the entire history of autofocus SLRs; they're a known quantity. You pretending only f/4 and slower lenses could possibly work...
And wasn't Canikon's SLR AF supposed to be perfect (or close to perfect)? That's what we've been told for decades! Tongue

I have been (and I am still) a DSLR user since 2003
actually my fast primes are all EF and not RF
I have used them on both system and found mirrorless to be better for fast primess
of course you can still use them on DSLRs
if I had a 85f1.4 I would prefer using it on a mirrorless body rather than a DSLR
and this is not only for autofocus also note on DSLR you need a focusing screen to be able to do manual focus none of it on mirrorless cameras
you have Pentax 50mm f1.4 check the DOF in your viewfinder using DOF preview button, you will note that faster than f2,8 DOF won't get thinner in the viewfinder (it will in pictures though) that's because the focusing screen is thick to get brighter, so how do you expect to do manual focus using this lens on DSLR (unless you are ready to change the focus screen and live witha dim viewfinder)
Yes for fast primes when focus precision is needed mirrorless is better.
MyselfI use my DSLR and keep mirrorless at home for sports, birding, hiking and social and events photography if I am planning to use flash
I used for a long time fast primes on DSLR and like you I use to think they were excellent for the job till I tried mirrorless
