6D owners beware.

I have noticed quite a few threads (and not just here) about 6D focus errors with fast primes.
Having been through the agony of mis-focus and weeks of AF fine tuning with my 85 1.2 and my 24-105, I can say, it was the body all along.

I swapped my 6D within the 28 day return period for a new body and now both lenses hit focus every time with no adjustment.

Just my experience but I'd like to hear from others if they have the same issues.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

I've had mine for about 6 months, very reliable focus. AMFA with ML all of my are at most +/-1 or 2

do you have some photo samples from your first 6D ?

I have quite a different experience with my 6D. I am dead-on with focus almost all the time with no adjustments whatsoever.

No problems with mine either. . . Not to say that I discredit your experience.

I've had my 6D for over 18 months with no issues whatsoever.

Copy variance. Some are bad. Most are good. You just got a bad one :-/ Sounds like you got it resolved pretty easily though.

Love my 6D!

no issues with sigma 35, canon 50 1.4 or canon 85 1.8. Minimal micro adjust with sigma

I use my 6D with complete confidence. It is dead-nuts accurate wide open with every lens I own. And it can do it in the dark. No AF complaints from me.

Mine misses sometimes, but it's because of the guy pushing the buttons.

My experience with my 6D is like yours. Dead-on accurate.

I think you will find that this is a very common problem. it's just that no many are willing to admit it.

I've never had an issue with the focusing on my 6D.
