Hello Michael, thank you for this informative review! You are mentioning the 60mm macro and the 70-200 F4. What is you experience with both lenses in regards to AF speed and accuracy? On my "old" M the AF of the macro was very slow and not always accurate.
Thanks!

Hi Jens,
it works fast and nearly without hunting - same experience like e.g. 200D. Accuracy / precision is stellar because (1) you set the AF region/spot WHERE YOU NEED IT (no focus and recompose with its inherent problems) and (2) there is no "guessing" like inside DSLRs that PDAF sensor and image sensor are aligned (the reason for AF microadjustment in some DSLR models).
Two observations:
(1) If focus is really off (from 40 cm to infinity) you might help the camera because the microlenses on the dual pixels cannot see these differences between needed focus and current focusing state. But this happened with PDAF on SLRs too but not that often.
On e.g. 40D I observed that the camera run the lens' focus forth and back over the full range to set it.
(2) Bird in flight photos had much better AF hit rate with 200D compared to M50 BUT: this was after using the M50 for just 10 days. In that case it might be very critical to learn the AF system and train yourself to get the most out of it. Maybe I had the wrong settings for that purpose.
Best - Michael
