some 100% crops to back up what I was mentioning about.

The second image is still considered "in-focus" but not "perfectly focused" as in the first image.

Not too sure whether I'm being too hard on an F1.4 lens though :(

I'm guessing this is the problem that plagues most 3rd party lenses. I just don't experience this on my canon 50 1.8 and 70-200 2.8

Apologies to the OP if it seemed like I'm barging on your thread.

^ Yeah, I get what you're saying. The amount of fringing is a matter of just how in-focus the image is, which may vary between phase-detect and contrast-detect.

I have both. Once both lens have been micro-adjusted for focus, I have no focus issues on my 5Diii. IMO, both lens have high keeper rates and I am quite satisfied with both.

Focus is definitely more consistent on my 24-70II than my 35A….this, however, is more a testament to how good the 24-70 II’s AF system is. The 24-70II utilizes a closed-loop AF system, which when paired with the 5DIII, allows it to focus more accurately.

Also, regardless of what you’re shooting with, your keeper rate will inevitably go down as your DOF gets shallower. i.e., I have a significantly lower keeper rate on my 85L wide open, than my 24-70II. A lot of it is user error, and a lot of it has to do with the inherent weaknesses of a phase detect AF system. Honestly, provided you aren’t shooting moving subjects, the best way to nail shots when working with a shallow DOF is to learn to manual focus!

Do you have a reference, for my learning. What other Canon equipments have such capability?

ditto, would like to know too. I'm using a 6D here, so it probably has what you're making reference to?

Good read on the subject:

Looks like it's the newer lenses released after 2012 or so

An excellent arti le, I wonder if the 6D also has a newer AF system.

Looks like its only the 1DX and the 5DIII (which inherits the 1D's AF system)
