....and yes, the AF went the wrong direction so now and then which shouldn't be the case with DPAF, but there are workarounds for that AF behavior.

Nice.

Thanks.

What do you mean the AF went "the wrong direction"?

Sometimes when the focus already was a bit behind the flower it went all the way to infinity even though this isn't right at the MFD and I was using single point AF.

Oh, right. I think single point with helpers would improve that behavior. That's probably what I would use for a shot like this. Now that we are getting some flowers in bloom (finally), I might try for myself, and see whether it makes a difference.
