Zinger! Talked with Foto Maerz Berlin today, they are really helpful and nice over there. They told me that I was the first person last year with the AF problem but after that more and more people came with the same problem, also 1D X owners. Mr. Henze had tried for several days to solve it with my camera and couldn't fix it back then. He recommended me last summer to send it in to Canon Germany. They told me everything was fine  Yesterday I had an idea how to maybe find a walk around and told them today. We talked for quite a while and Mr. Henze told me he had called Canon last year to ask for a solution. They avoided to confess a serious problem but actually admitted it's something for which there is no fix and that it's "normal" deviation.

Mr. Henze told me about 1D X owners who actually were as speechless as I am because the sophisticated AF system of their 6.000 € camera was useless in the field. Same with 5D IIIs. Mr. Henze himself is speechless. He will now try to custom adjust my camera the way that it's somehow a compromise that I can live with. He told me I should report publicly about the faulty AF system and complain to Canon about it again so that this serious problem gets a bigger audience and forces them to find a new solution.
