Hello again friends,

Just a quick note to let you know that I upgraded to this setup:

and the focus problem is completely solved. I use the 200D mostly in Live View mode / single shot (not servo), and the AF is confident and fast enough for my purposes, with both the EF 50 mm f/1.8 STM and EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM. I'll keep the M10 with the EF-M 22 mm f/2.0 for wider shots, and I'm fully equipped.

I looked at the M6 too, as Alastair suggested, but ultimately I got a better price for the 200 D, which also has DPAF, and this way I could leave the adapter at home...

Thanks for your help and best regards,

Congrats on your purchase. Looks like a good setup, and the white body looks cool too. I have found that the DPAF on the M6, which is the same as live view on the 200D, works very well in low light, especially with fast lenses. I'm sure you're getting some great shots.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
