The third-party options for Canon's RF mount continues to grow. We're seeing a lot of manual focus and cinema lenses added fairly often.
There are no “legal” third-party autofocus options for the RF mount for the moment. Canon has flexed its intellectual property rights and had early options from Samyang and Rokinon pulled from most markets around the globe. Canon is requiring third-party makers to get permission from Canon to make autofocus lenses.
For now, only the Voigtlander NOKTON 50mm f/1.0 (not yet in production) has Canon's permission to use the RF mount electronics. While it is still a manual focus lens, it will take to the RF mount camera that it is attached to.
Sigma and Tamron, the two big third-party manufacturers still haven't announced their plans for the RF mount, but we do expect that to come eventually.
Below is a list of all of the known third-party RF mount lenses for both photography and cinema applications.

Maybe you have new evidence. Perhaps our safari experts like Grant Atkinson can report back on the R5/R6 in the field.
Obviously the R5 works great on black and white test subjects like test charts, so there may be nothing too this, but perhaps certain blacks absorb enough light, and then additional light is lost at the bayer filter, that AF on black subjects is off a bit. Perhaps not that different from AF slowing down in low light. Pure speculation on my part.
And when somethings move a bit fast it really overdoes (if that’s a word) the searching.
with a dslr it was much smaller movement and much smaller misses and much closer to focus always.
Perhaps nature of focus by wire, but nonetheless it’s a very different behavior, and not better..

Maybe a mistake of an admin.
I would send a PM to Canon Rumors Guy.
At least it would be useful to change the title. Could be done by You.;)
