6D Markii auto-focus issues

[Namra38]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone might have any insight in an issue I have been having with a 6Dmii that I purchased at the end of August. I have been a long time Canon user and previously was using the Canon 6D as my main body (still have it). When I upgraded to the Markii I was excited for the fast frame rate and focus points. However, every lens that I use on the new body needs to be micro-adjusted, and not just by 2-3 clicks, it is requiring a negative 9-11 adjustment for each lens which I would consider excessive. All the same lenses work perfect with no adjustments needed on my old 6D body.

List of lenses:
Tamron 24-70f2.8
Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD
Canon 100-400 f4.5-5.6 (Mark i)
Sigma Art 50mm f1.4

I have used online micro-adjustment tutorials to adjust each lens and am still noticing very slow speeds in AI Servo mode. My 6D has a much higher percentage of in-focus images with a subject that is moving quickly towards the camera. The Markii has been very frustrating to use, especially when I have the Marki that I have had no issues with that I can compare side by side.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I always worked with Nikon with no problem. Then I decided to give Canon a try and bought recently a Canon 6D Mark II. Honestly, I'm SO disappointed. The camera doesn't focus well at all, I'm working with a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens and I simply loose lots of photos which never happened to me with Nikon. I already did tests with a ruler, tried micro-adjustments, borrow other lenses from colleagues and it doesn't get better. So frustrating to have to send a brand new camera to repair, specially because I'm at high season in my area. It's gonna be such a loss. I really regret trying Canon!

Greetings,

This is a 6 year old thread.  If you are having issues with your camera and would like assistance, please start a new thread.  With that said, I've owned a 6D2 since its release 6 yrs ago.  Its a great camera and very capable.  Brand new cameras don't usually get sent in for repair.  They get replaced by the retailer.  On the off chance you got a lemon, work with the retailer to get it exchanged.  My experience with the 6D2 has been quite the opposite.  See below.
