there is also a focusing type issue. If you use a native focusing system through the mirror it does not work so well as the live view ...

This is an old thread but if you're referring to the 15-85, I still have it and use it as my main lens, now on the 70D, and I don't see what you're describing with mine. I've had zero focus issues over many thousands of shots (40D & 70D).

Likewise.

I don't recognise the lens the OP was referring to.
Mine has always focussed perfectly whether in "live" or normal focus mode, and still delivers sharp and high contrast images with my 80D.
