Sure, if you go hunting through Canon's EF back catalogue, I'm sure you'll find some anomalies where modern 3rd party lenses may perform better.

However, compare modern with modern, and the 3rd party lenses just won't compare.

Didn't read the whole of your beef but this statement is as wrong as it can be.

What I love about modern Sigma Art lenses is that they deliver 95-100% of the image quality of the Canon RF lenses but for 30-50% lower prices.

Sigmas like 14-24/2.8, 40/1.4, 105/1.4, 135/1.8 are fabulous class leading lenses for very reasonable prices.

IQ wise yes, AF no.

I wonder if RF 50&85mm f/1.2 are really better than the Sigma 40&105mm Art.

We're solely talking about 3rd party EF lenses not offering "full native" AF experience.

There's really nothing more I could wish for with the 40 and 105mm Art.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
