Re: EOS RP front focus with EF lenses - Please CANON add MFA to RP!

I think people are expecting too much of the on-sensor AF. It's miles better than DSLRs, but it has its own set of limitations that can throw off focus.

For example, it can easily get confused with strong horizontal detail - your DSLR focusing charts are not going to work here as a result! I can repeat the same thing on both my previous EOS R and my current R6 - it isn't an error, just a current limitation.

Canon even acknowledges the limitations, and even has a MASSIVE disclaimer about their autofocus on their manuals!

Whenever Canon introduces quad pixel AF, maybe it will help overcome some of these problems.
