Focus Shift a "non-existent problem " ??? Tell that to all the people who bought the EF50 f1.2 It's a huge problem with that lens if you shoot close to your subject between f1.6 & f2.8.
This is why the reviews of the EF50 f1.2 were always so mixed, lots of people had no idea what was going on but had/have problems vs others who don't shoot up close around f2.0 and have no problems.
On the other hand, the EF85 f1.2 & 1.4 have no focus shift. I've shot many (probably 1000) images up close with the 85 f1.2, something you can't do with the EF50 unless you stick to f1.2 or >f2.8
I don't know if the RF35 has a focus shift design flaw. If it does (as the reviewer claimed), then DPAF should mostly cover it up. If a future RF camera also uses phase detect AF that's when the problems will show.
