Rudy, the R5 is an excellent camera, even if not perfect.

I’d like to see better tracking of random objects but in most cases the focus/recompose without servo tracking of the fixed object does the job and is certainly faster than manipulation of a joy stick

And when it comes to people/eyes, the servo focus/recompose from center focus location is as good or better than any other.

Agree entirely.

I use one bb for servo face and another bb for single spot without servo.

And I too use Spot with BBAF, but I keep it in Servo so I can track that spot if need be (and if I need to lock focus, I just lift my thumb from the back button). Works tremendously well.
